Anthropic's Claude Code adds auto-denial for permission prompts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic's Claude Code v2.1.319, released November 6, 2026, introduced a new permission setting called denyInsteadOfPrompting. This feature automatically denies any tool call that would typically require a permission prompt, allowing the session to continue without interruption. This change affects terminal sessions, subagents, and teammates, and moves MCP task calls to the background. ScriptMasterLabs offers a Verdict Protocol service that provides scored, sealed decisions for such calls, costing $0.25 per decision and $0.01 per seal, which they contrast with Claude Code's blunt denial mechanism.

IMPACT This feature may streamline unattended AI agent operations by preventing interruptions from permission prompts.
