I find there's an interesting tension with these models - they're very "resourceful" at finding ways to do things with the tools they have, but it'd also be a lot more useful to me if I could see / permit exactly what they're trying to do. Claude will very happy produce bash commands to run sed or whatever to read part of a file, which prompts for permission each time - if it was using a specific read_file tool it'd be easier to say 'allow all of this' (It does actually have such a tool but maybe it isn't flexible enough for many use cases?).
