GitHub announced general availability on October 26 for assisted permissions in Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and Visual Studio Code. According to its documentation, a model reviews eligible unresolved requests to run commands, access paths or open URLs after existing rules and approvals have been applied. Requests judged safe proceed automatically. Those still requiring human approval prompt the user in standard interactive sessions; in non-interactive runs or Autopilot, they are denied. In the app, the documented controls cover local sessions: available remote modes depend on the host, and these controls are unavailable for cloud sessions.

Enterprise administrators can restrict modes and set the default for new sessions. Developers can choose another mode permitted by policy; if the default is unavailable or prohibited, the session starts with manual approval. In Nexo’s interpretation, the change shifts part of the oversight from individual prompts to the team’s autonomy rules and its review of actions taken.

Model classification can be wrong and provides no security guarantee. Scope also varies: the VS Code documentation still labels the option experimental. Nexo has not tested these permissions.
