 > **Enhanced autopilot (v1.0.64+)**: When autopilot mode is active — including when launched with `--autopilot` at startup or during automatic continuation turns — the agent automatically handles elicitation dialogs, `ask_user` prompts, sampling requests, and permission prompts without surfacing them as interactive dialogs. This means long-running automated sessions can proceed end-to-end without manual confirmation steps.

+> **Auto allow-all mode (v1.0.69+)**: In addition to the standard allow-all mode (which approves everything), the CLI now supports an **auto allow-all** mode that uses an LLM judge to evaluate each tool request. When enabled, the judge automatically approves requests it evaluates as acceptable, and asks you for manual confirmation only for requests it considers risky. This gives you a middle ground between full autopilot and fully supervised operation — most routine actions proceed automatically while unusual or potentially dangerous actions still surface for your review. Enable it from the session UI or with `/allow-all auto`.

 > **Read-only `gh` CLI commands (v1.0.46+)**: Read-only `gh` commands — such as `gh issue list`, `gh pr view`, `gh run status`, and other commands that don't write to GitHub — are **automatically approved** without a permission prompt. Only commands that write to GitHub (like creating issues, merging PRs) still require explicit approval. This reduces friction during exploratory sessions where you frequently check issue or PR status.

 The `--effort` flag (shorthand for `--reasoning-effort`) controls how much computational reasoning the model applies to a request:

+**Viewing attached servers with `/mcp list`** (v1.0.69+): Use `/mcp list` to see which MCP servers are currently attached to your session and their status. Unlike `/mcp show` (which shows all configured servers), `/mcp list` focuses on what's active right now and can run **while the agent is working** — useful for checking server status mid-turn without interrupting the agent:
+
+```
+/mcp list              # show servers attached to this session
+```
+
+You can also open the `/mcp` manager while the agent is working to toggle servers on or off mid-turn. Add, edit, delete, and re-auth actions wait until the turn finishes, but enabling or disabling a server takes effect immediately.

 **Toggling servers on and off** (v1.0.66+): From the `/mcp` list view, you can **enable or disable individual MCP servers** without editing your config file. Select a server in the list and toggle it — disabled servers won't start in future sessions and their tools won't be available to agents. This is useful for temporarily disabling a server that's causing slowdowns or errors without removing it from your configuration entirely.
