Claude Code auto-mode classifier blocks owner's own tasks and file transfers

TheAviv · ghdev · 2026-10-09

GitHub issue #100730 on anthropics/claude-code documents the Cowork auto mode classifier silently blocking the account owner's legitimate actions in attended sessions. Case 1: calling firetrigger on the user's own scheduled task was denied with no override option. Case 2: moving a .docx between the user's own sandbox and server — nothing leaving their control — was flagged as "[Data Exfiltration]" and stopped. Result: a production deliverable missed its window while the agent spent nearly an hour routing around refusals. Author asks that owner-approved actions not be blocked silently, and that blocks surface immediately with one-click allow and "always allow for this tool" options.
