Workspace trust

Workspace trust

An agent reads and changes the files in your project, so Hypheus works only in a workspace you have marked as trusted.

What happens

• When you open a folder, the editor asks whether you trust its authors. Choose Yes, I trust the authors for projects you control.
• In an untrusted workspace, Hypheus does not start an agent session and shows "Trust this workspace before using Hypheus". The editor opens in Restricted Mode.
• To change your decision later, open the command palette and run Workspaces: Manage Workspace Trust.

What trust does and does not mean

• Trust lets the agent propose reads, edits and commands in that workspace. Each still goes through your approval, or through Autopilot's limits if you start it.
• An agent session is not a filesystem sandbox. An approved command runs as you. Read the command on the approval card before you approve it.
• Anything the agent reads is sent to the model you selected. See Models.
• File tools refuse paths outside the workspace.
