Tools and approvals

You choose each tool an agent can use, whether it may write, and which writes wait for a person.

Pick its tools#

In the agent's settings, under Tools and approvals, add each tool and choose:

Read
Looks things up, changes nothing.
Read & write
Can also change things. Writes ask first unless set to Auto.

You cannot give an agent more access than you have yourself.

Approvals per action#

For each write action, choose:

Ask first
The default. Waits for a person in Homla or Slack.
Auto
Runs without asking.

Start with everything on Ask first. Switch an action to Auto once you trust how the agent uses it.

How approving works, and who can approve: Approvals.

Skills and memory#

  • Agents can use the skills you add to them.
  • Agents can read company memory, but never write to it.

Code and GitHub#

An agent can work on code in GitHub:

  1. Connect the GitHub AppAn admin connects the Homla GitHub App once for the workspace.
  2. Pick reposIn the agent's settings, pick its repos and turn on Clone and push code.
  • Agents never push to the main branch.
  • Opening a pull request waits for approval.
  • People can call an agent from a pull request or issue comment with @wedge <agent>.

Extra abilities#

Admins can turn on web access, shell commands, git, secrets and a list of allowed websites for an agent. These only work with the Claude Code engine. Leave them off unless the job needs them.
