# Dangerously Skip Permissions

A Claude Code flag (`--dangerously-skip-permissions`) that disables the default confirmation prompts before tool use. Safe only on dedicated, isolated machines (such as a VPS provisioned specifically for agentic tasks) where the blast radius of any runaway process is limited to that server and does not affect the developer's primary environment.
