Claude Code utilizes a suite of built-in tools—such as `read`, `edit`, and `bash`—to execute developer instructions automatically without requiring manual tool referencing. While read-only actions proceed without interruption, write-access tools like `edit` and `bash` trigger mandatory permission prompts to ensure user oversight. Efficiency can be improved by selecting the "Yes and don't ask me again" option, which generates a `.claude/settings.local.json` file to store project-specific command authorizations. Additionally, the `to-do` tool helps the agent maintain task focus through automated checklists. For high-velocity workflows, the "accept edits" feature (toggled via Alt+M) bypasses file-change prompts for the duration of a session. These mechanisms balance security with developer productivity by allowing granular control over how the agent interacts with a local codebase.
