Claude/tool approval all tools l mw xe - #1355
Conversation
This implements a comprehensive tool control system with two mechanisms: 1. Tool Approval: Requires user confirmation before executing certain tools - Added ApprovalRequirement class for approval check results - Added requires_approval() method to Tool base class (overridable) - Added approval_required_tools and require_approval_for_all_tools to Toolset - Refactored bash tool to use the new requires_approval() method 2. Tool Restriction: Limits when LLM can use certain tools - Added RestrictionResult class for restriction check results - Added restricted field to Tool class - Added restricted_tools list to Toolset class - Tools marked [RESTRICTED] require runbook authorization or explicit flag - Restriction is enforced via prompt guidance and execution-time checks Key changes: - holmes/core/tools.py: New classes and methods for approval/restriction - holmes/core/tool_calling_llm.py: Track runbook usage for restriction checks - holmes/plugins/toolsets/bash/bash_toolset.py: Refactored to use new API - holmes/plugins/prompts/_general_instructions.jinja2: Added policy docs The two mechanisms are orthogonal - a tool can be both restricted AND require approval, providing defense in depth for dangerous operations. Signed-off-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Comprehensive test coverage for the new security features: 1. ApprovalRequirement and RestrictionResult classes 2. Tool-level requires_approval() method with conditional logic 3. Toolset-level approval_required_tools pattern matching 4. Toolset-level require_approval_for_all_tools flag 5. Tool-level restricted field and toolset restricted_tools patterns 6. Restriction enforcement with restricted_tools_enabled and runbook_in_use 7. [RESTRICTED] prefix in OpenAI tool format 8. Combined approval and restriction scenarios 9. Wildcard and empty pattern edge cases All 29 tests pass and verify the security mechanisms work correctly. Signed-off-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two new eval tests to verify tool restriction behavior: 1. 195_restricted_tool_blocked: - Tests that restricted tools are blocked without authorization - Configures kubernetes/logs toolset with restricted_tools: ["*"] - Expects error message about tool being restricted 2. 196_restricted_tool_via_runbook: - Tests that restricted tools work when a runbook authorizes them - Same restriction configuration but includes a runbook - After fetch_runbook is called, restricted tools become available - Expects successful log retrieval Also adds 'tool-restriction' pytest marker for these tests.

In @holmes/plugins/toolsets/bash/bash_toolset.py:
- Around line 213-223: The except block that catches (argparse.ArgumentError,
ValueError) must not fall back to executing the original unvalidated command;
instead fail safely: when make_command_safe(command_str, self.toolset.config)
raises and context.user_approved is False, propagate or raise a
SecurityError/ValueError and abort execution (or return an error response), and
log the failure; update the handler around make_command_safe in the method that
sets command_to_execute (referencing make_command_safe, context.user_approved,
command_to_execute, and requires_approval) to stop execution on that exception
rather than assigning command_str.
In
@tests/llm/fixtures/test_ask_holmes/195_restricted_tool_blocked/test_case.yaml:
- Line 19: Replace the "sleep 5" call used in the retry loop with "sleep 1" in
this test case; locate the literal "sleep 5" in
tests/llm/fixtures/test_ask_holmes/195_restricted_tool_blocked/test_case.yaml
and change it to "sleep 1" so the retry loop uses a 1-second delay.
In
@tests/llm/fixtures/test_ask_holmes/196_restricted_tool_via_runbook/manifests.yaml:
- Around line 1-19: Rename the Pod metadata.name from "test-pod" to a unique,
realistic service name (e.g., "checkout-api-196" or "user-service-196") and
update the labels.app to match; ensure this new name does not collide with the
Pod used in test 195. Add a securityContext block under spec.containers[*] (for
the container named "app") setting runAsNonRoot: true, runAsUser to a non-root
UID (eg. 1000), allowPrivilegeEscalation: false, privileged: false and consider
readOnlyRootFilesystem: true to harden the container. Ensure labels and name are
consistent and that no other test uses the same metadata.name.
In
@tests/llm/fixtures/test_ask_holmes/196_restricted_tool_via_runbook/test_case.yaml:
- Line 24: Replace the "sleep 5" used in the retry loop with "sleep 1" to follow
the guideline of using 1-second sleeps for retries; update the occurrence of
"sleep 5" in the test case's retry logic to "sleep 1" while keeping other
intentional longer sleeps unchanged.
🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
holmes/plugins/prompts/_general_instructions.jinja2 (1)
68-83: Good policy addition; consider aligning wording with the approval flow and avoiding over-claiming side effects.
Two small tweaks to consider:
- If some tools are “approval-required” (not necessarily “[RESTRICTED]”), add a one-liner that the agent must request approval when prompted by the system.
- If “read-only by design” is still true for most tools, consider wording like “may have side effects / perform remediation” instead of “can make changes to the system” to avoid contradictions.
tests/llm/fixtures/test_ask_holmes/196_restricted_tool_via_runbook/pod_logs_runbook.md (1)
1-20: Expand runbook to follow the standard structure.The runbook is missing several required sections according to established patterns:
- Goal section (Primary Objective, Scope, Agent Mandate, Expected Outcome)
- Workflow section with detailed sequential steps including Action, Function Description, Parameters, Expected Output, and Success/Failure Criteria
- Synthesize Findings section (Data Correlation, Pattern Recognition, Prioritization Logic)
- Recommended Remediation Steps section (Immediate Actions, Permanent Solutions, Verification Steps)
The current "Steps" section (lines 7-9) uses generic tool names rather than function descriptions, which is good. However, consider expanding to the full workflow format for consistency with other runbooks.
Based on learnings, runbooks should provide comprehensive guidance to the AI agent.
📖 Example expanded structure

1-19: Consider security hardening and verify pod name uniqueness.The static analysis flags two security concerns:
- Containers should not run with
allowPrivilegeEscalation- Minimize admission of root containers
While these are valid security practices, they may be acceptable for test fixtures. However, adding security context would demonstrate best practices:
🔒 Optional security hardening
containers: - name: app image: busybox:1.36 command: ["sh", "-c", "echo 'Application started successfully' && sleep 3600"] + securityContext: + allowPrivilegeEscalation: false + runAsNonRoot: true + runAsUser: 1000 resources:Additionally, the pod name
test-podis also used in test 196 (different namespace: app-196). According to coding guidelines, pod names should be unique across tests. While different namespaces technically isolate them, consider using more distinct names liketest-pod-195andtest-pod-196to avoid confusion.tests/llm/fixtures/test_ask_holmes/195_restricted_tool_blocked/test_case.yaml (1)
1-6: Consider adding an empty runbooks catalog.This test validates that restricted tools are blocked when no runbook is provided. According to coding guidelines, eval tests should explicitly declare the runbooks field. Adding
runbooks: {}would make the test's intent clearer - that no runbooks are available for authorization.📚 Proposed addition
user_prompt: "Get the logs from the test-pod in the app-195 namespace" expected_output: - The tool is restricted and requires runbook authorization - Holmes should report that the logs tool was blocked or restricted - Must NOT successfully retrieve the logs include_tool_calls: true +runbooks: {} before_test: |Based on learnings, explicit runbook configuration in test cases improves clarity.
holmes/core/tool_calling_llm.py (1)
182-189: Consider documenting the reset behavior more explicitly.The
reset_conversation_state()method intentionally does NOT reset_restricted_tools_enabledbecause it's "set per-request". This asymmetry could be confusing to future maintainers. Consider either:
- Renaming to
reset_runbook_state()to clarify that only runbook-related state is reset, or- Adding a more detailed docstring explaining the lifecycle difference between these two flags
The current implementation is functionally correct, but the asymmetric reset behavior warrants clearer documentation.
📝 Enhanced documentation example
def reset_conversation_state(self) -> None: - """Reset conversation-level state for a new conversation.""" + """Reset conversation-level state for a new conversation. + + Note: _restricted_tools_enabled is NOT reset here because it is set + per-request at a higher level (e.g., via set_restricted_tools_enabled()), + whereas _runbook_in_use is tracked dynamically during the conversation. + """ self._runbook_in_use = False - # Note: _restricted_tools_enabled is not reset here as it's set per-requestholmes/plugins/toolsets/bash/bash_toolset.py (1)
166-193: Replaceconfigure_scope()withnew_scope()for temporary scope modifications.The
configure_scope()context manager is deprecated in sentry-sdk 2.0+. For short-lived scope modifications like this, usesentry_sdk.new_scope()instead.♻️ Proposed fix
# Report to Sentry for monitoring unsafe command attempts - with sentry_sdk.configure_scope() as scope: + with sentry_sdk.new_scope() as scope: scope.set_extra("command", command_str) scope.set_extra("error", str(e)) scope.set_extra("unsafe_allow_all", BASH_TOOL_UNSAFE_ALLOW_ALL) sentry_sdk.capture_exception(e)

Never use :latest container tags - use specific versions like grafana/grafana:12.3.1
Be specific in expected_output - test exact values like title or unique injected values, not generic patterns
Match user prompt to test - prompt must explicitly request what you're testing
Don't use technical terms that give away solutions in user prompts - use anti-cheat prompts that prevent domain knowledge shortcuts
Test discovery and analysis ability, not recognition - Holmes should search/analyze, not guess from context
Use include_tool_calls: true to verify tool was called when output values are too generic to rule out hallucinations
Use neutral, application-specific names in eval resources instead of obvious technical terms to prevent domain knowledge cheats
Avoid hint-giving resource names - use realistic business context (checkout-api, user-service, inventory-db) not obvious problem indicators (broken-pod, payment-service-1)
Implement full architecture in eval tests even if complex (use Loki for log aggregation, proper separation of concerns) with minimal resource footprints
Add source comments in eval test manifests for anti-cheat: 'Uses Node Exporter dashboard but renamed to prevent cheats'

99-145: Pytest marker addition looks correct; enables new restricted/approval tests without “unknown marker” noise.tests/llm/fixtures/test_ask_holmes/195_restricted_tool_blocked/toolsets.yaml (1)
1-7: Verify toolset config schema: isrestricted_toolsexpected at this level (vs under aconfigobject)?
If the schema expectstoolsets.<name>.enabled.config, this fixture may silently not restrict anything. As per coding guidelines/learnings, toolset config often must live under theconfigfield.tests/llm/fixtures/test_ask_holmes/196_restricted_tool_via_runbook/toolsets.yaml (1)

178-180: LGTM! State tracking initialization is correct.The conversation-scoped state fields are properly initialized and clearly documented. This enables the restriction and runbook authorization flow throughout the tool invocation lifecycle.
522-523: LGTM! Context propagation is implemented correctly.The restriction and runbook state flags are properly passed to the
ToolInvokeContext, enabling tools to make authorization decisions based on the current conversation state.
527-534: LGTM! Runbook tracking logic is correct.The logic correctly:
- Checks if the invoked tool is
fetch_runbook- Verifies the tool call succeeded
- Sets
_runbook_in_useto enable restricted tools for the remainder of the conversation- Logs the state transition
The placement after
tool.invoke()ensures the runbook was successfully fetched before enabling restricted tools.holmes/plugins/toolsets/bash/bash_toolset.py (1)
15-15: LGTM!Import of
ApprovalRequirementis correctly added to support the new approval flow.tests/core/test_tool_approval_restriction.py (5)
33-124: LGTM!Test fixtures are well-structured. The unused parameter warnings from static analysis are false positives - abstract method overrides must accept the parameters even if not needed for the test implementation.
132-181: LGTM!Good coverage of the
ApprovalRequirementandRestrictionResultmodel classes, including default value verification.
246-320: LGTM!The toolset approval configuration tests provide thorough coverage of pattern matching for
approval_required_toolsandrequire_approval_for_all_tools. Theobject.__setattr__workaround for setting the toolset reference is acceptable given Pydantic's model constraints.
367-494: LGTM!Excellent coverage of restriction mechanisms including tool-level flags, toolset patterns, and both bypass conditions (
restricted_tools_enabledandrunbook_in_use).
531-698: LGTM!Critical test coverage for the interaction between restriction and approval mechanisms. The tests correctly verify that:
- Restriction is checked before approval (fail-fast on restricted tools)
user_approved=Truebypasses both checks- Complex toolset configurations with both patterns work correctly
The edge case tests for empty patterns and wildcard matching are valuable additions.
holmes/core/tools.py (7)
110-121: LGTM!The
ApprovalRequirementandRestrictionResultmodels are well-designed with clear semantics. Using PydanticBaseModelmaintains consistency with the rest of the codebase.
175-177: LGTM!The new context fields follow secure defaults (both
False), ensuring tools are restricted unless explicitly authorized.
193-196: LGTM!The
restrictedfield onToolis well-documented and defaults toFalse, maintaining backward compatibility.
239-250: LGTM!Prefixing restricted tool descriptions with
[RESTRICTED]provides clear signaling to the LLM about tool authorization requirements.
261-288: LGTM!The multi-stage invocation flow correctly implements:
- Skip all checks if
user_approved(user has explicitly authorized)- Check restriction first (fail-fast on unauthorized tools)
- Check approval second (prompt for confirmation if needed)
The logging provides good observability for debugging authorization flows.

The LLM was applying the Restricted Tools Policy too broadly to all potentially destructive operations, even when those tools weren't actually marked [RESTRICTED]. This caused the LLM to refuse bash delete commands that should go through the approval flow (user confirmation), not be blocked entirely. Changes to the prompt: - Clarify policy ONLY applies to tools with [RESTRICTED] prefix - Explicitly state non-restricted tools can be used normally - Distinguish approval prompts from restriction blocking Signed-off-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Changed restriction enforcement from invocation-time blocking to filtering tools from the tools list: 1. ToolExecutor.get_all_tools_openai_format(): - Added include_restricted parameter - Filters out restricted tools when include_restricted=False 2. ToolCallingLLM: - Added _should_include_restricted_tools() and _get_tools() helpers - Re-fetches tools list after fetch_runbook activates restricted tools - Updates tools list dynamically when runbook_in_use becomes True 3. Tool.invoke(): - Removed invocation-time restriction check - Approval check still happens at invocation time 4. Simplified prompt guidance: - Removed "Restricted Tools Policy" (no longer needed) - Added simple "Tool Approval" section explaining approval flow This approach is more robust: - LLM cannot call tools it cannot see - No reliance on prompt engineering for security - Restricted tools become available after fetch_runbook - Approval still works at invocation time for user confirmation Updated unit tests to reflect new filtering-based design.

268-268: Consider refactoring the tool-toolset relationship.The repeated use of
object.__setattr__(tool, "toolset", toolset)to bypass Pydantic validation suggests that the dynamictoolsetattribute on Tool might benefit from being a proper field. While this workaround is acceptable in tests, consider addingtoolset: Optional[Toolset] = Noneto the Tool model to make this relationship explicit and type-safe.

tests/core/test_tool_approval_restriction.py (2)
34-126: LGTM! Well-designed test fixtures.The test fixtures provide a clean foundation for testing approval and restriction mechanisms. The test tool implementations (SimpleTool, ApprovalRequiredTool, ConditionalApprovalTool) clearly demonstrate different approval scenarios.
133-704: LGTM! Comprehensive test coverage.The test suite thoroughly covers:
- Model validation (ApprovalRequirement, RestrictionResult)
- Tool-level and toolset-level approval/restriction logic
- Pattern matching for configuration
- Invocation-time approval checks
- List-level restriction filtering
- Combined scenarios (restricted + approval)
- OpenAI format modifications
- Edge cases (empty patterns, wildcards)
This provides strong confidence in the implementation.
holmes/core/tools_utils/tool_executor.py (1)
54-73: LGTM! Clean implementation of restriction filtering.The
include_restrictedparameter and filtering logic are well-implemented. The docstring clearly explains when to include restricted tools (when runbook is in use or restricted tools are explicitly enabled), which aligns with the PR objectives.holmes/plugins/prompts/_general_instructions.jinja2 (1)
73-76: LGTM! Clear and concise approval guidance.The Tool Approval section provides clear guidance that reassures users that approval prompts are normal and expected for potentially destructive operations. The instruction to "go ahead and call it" helps prevent hesitation that could disrupt the investigation flow.
holmes/core/tool_calling_llm.py (4)
178-189: LGTM! Clean state management for conversation-level restrictions.The per-conversation state tracking (
_runbook_in_use,_restricted_tools_enabled) with corresponding reset and setter methods provides a clean API for managing tool restrictions throughout the conversation lifecycle.Note:
reset_conversation_state()intentionally doesn't reset_restricted_tools_enabledsince it's set per-request, which is the correct behavior.
310-319: LGTM! Clear helper methods for tool filtering.The
_should_include_restricted_tools()and_get_tools()helper methods provide a clean abstraction for determining which tools to include based on runbook usage and explicit enablement. This separation of concerns makes the logic easy to understand and test.
498-506: LGTM! Dynamic tool list refresh after runbook activation.The logic to re-fetch the tools list when a runbook is activated is well-implemented. The length comparison ensures we only log and update when the list actually changes, and the log message provides clear feedback about what happened.
This same pattern is correctly replicated in
call_stream()at lines 999-1006.
540-552: LGTM! Proper tracking of runbook usage.The runbook activation tracking is correctly placed after successful tool invocation. Checking both the tool name (
fetch_runbook) and the success status ensures that only successful runbook fetches enable restricted tools.The propagation of restriction flags through
ToolInvokeContext(lines 540-541) ensures downstream tool logic has access to the conversation state.holmes/core/tools.py (7)
110-122: LGTM! Well-defined models for approval and restriction results.The
ApprovalRequirementandRestrictionResultmodels provide clear, type-safe representations of approval and restriction checks. The default empty string forreasonis appropriate for cases where no explanation is needed.
175-177: LGTM! Clear context propagation for restriction state.The addition of
restricted_tools_enabledandrunbook_in_useflags toToolInvokeContextensures that tool invocation logic has access to the conversation-level restriction state. The field comments clearly explain the distinction between explicit enablement and runbook-driven enablement.
239-250: LGTM! Clear visual indicator for restricted tools.Adding the
[RESTRICTED]prefix to tool descriptions in OpenAI format provides a clear visual indicator when restricted tools are included in the tools list. This is helpful for debugging and understanding which tools are restricted.
262-276: LGTM! Proper approval enforcement at invocation time.The approval check is correctly placed:
- Only checks when
user_approvedis False (skips redundant checks)- Checks approval requirement before invocation
- Returns
APPROVAL_REQUIREDstatus with the reason- Includes the invocation string for user review
Note: The comment "Restriction is enforced at the tools list level, not here" correctly reflects the design decision that restriction filtering happens when building the tools list, not at invocation time.
314-328: LGTM! Comprehensive restriction checking with pattern matching.The
_is_restricted()method correctly checks both:
- Tool-level
restrictedflag- Toolset-level
restricted_toolspatternsUsing
fnmatchfor pattern matching is appropriate and allows flexible configuration (e.g.,kubectl_delete_*).
330-375: LGTM! Well-structured approval checking with clear separation of concerns.The approval checking is cleanly separated into three methods:
_get_approval_requirement()- Orchestrates the check (toolset config first, then tool-specific)_check_approval_config()- Handles toolset-level configuration (pattern matching, global flag)requires_approval()- Hook for tool-specific logic (can be overridden)This design allows both declarative (toolset config) and imperative (tool-specific logic) approval requirements, which is flexible and powerful.
The static analysis warning about unused parameters in
requires_approval()is a false positive - this is an intentional hook method that subclasses override.
678-690: LGTM! Comprehensive toolset-level restriction and approval configuration.The three new fields provide flexible control:
restricted_tools- Pattern-based tool restrictionapproval_required_tools- Pattern-based approval requirementsrequire_approval_for_all_tools- Global approval flagThe field descriptions clearly explain the behavior, and the use of
Fieldwith default factories ensures proper initialization.
1. ToolsetYamlFromConfig - Added missing fields:
- restricted_tools
- approval_required_tools
- require_approval_for_all_tools
These need to be explicitly declared so Pydantic recognizes them
when parsing YAML and includes them in model_dump() for the
override_with() method to work correctly with builtin toolsets.
2. Test 195 (restricted_tool_blocked):
- Updated expected output to reflect filtering behavior
- With filtering, LLM won't see the tool at all, so it can't
report "blocked" - it just won't have a logs tool available
3. Test 196 (restricted_tool_via_runbook):
- Fixed runbook catalog format by adding required update_date field

reduce wait between attempts, and update the timeout message "❌ Pod not ready

110-122: LGTM: Clean model definitions.The
ApprovalRequirementandRestrictionResultmodels are well-structured with clear field names and appropriate docstrings.
175-177: LGTM: Context fields properly added.The new context fields clearly track restriction state with appropriate defaults and documentation.
193-196: LGTM: Restricted field properly defined.The
restrictedfield is correctly configured with an informative description.
239-250: LGTM: OpenAI format correctly updated.The
[RESTRICTED]prefix implementation is clean and uses the appropriate helper method to determine restriction status.
262-276: LGTM: Approval check correctly implemented.The approval logic is properly isolated from restriction checks, with clear comments explaining that restriction enforcement happens at the tools list level. The early return pattern when approval is required is clean and correct.
297-328: LGTM: Restriction checking logic is sound.The
_check_restrictionand_is_restrictedmethods correctly implement the restriction logic using pattern matching viafnmatch. Note that_check_restrictionis not called ininvoke(), which aligns with the PR's design of enforcing restrictions at the tools list level rather than at invocation time.
330-364: LGTM: Approval checking correctly layered.The approval logic properly implements a two-tier check: toolset configuration first, then tool-specific logic. The pattern matching for
approval_required_toolsis correctly implemented.
679-690: LGTM: Toolset restriction/approval fields properly added.The new fields are correctly configured with appropriate descriptions and default values that make sense for the restriction and approval system.
952-957: LGTM: ToolsetYamlFromConfig fields correctly declared.The explicit field declarations with the helpful comment correctly address the Pydantic parsing and
model_dump()requirements for theoverride_with()pattern used in toolset configuration.
- Add restrict_all_tools: bool field to Toolset and ToolsetYamlFromConfig for restricting all tools with a single flag (mirrors require_approval_for_all_tools) - Update _is_restricted() to check restrict_all_tools flag before patterns - Add unit tests for: - Wildcard '*' pattern in approval_required_tools - restrict_all_tools=True flag - restrict_all_tools=False default behavior - restrict_all_tools overrides empty patterns Signed-off-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Remove boolean flags (restrict_all_tools, require_approval_for_all_tools) in favor of using "*" wildcard pattern for consistency: - restricted_tools: ["*"] to restrict all tools - approval_required_tools: ["*"] to require approval for all tools This simplifies the API to a single pattern-based approach using fnmatch.

- Around line 297-312: Remove the dead helper method _check_restriction from the

_is_restricted(), so delete the entire _check_restriction(self, context:

_check_restriction remain; keep _is_restricted(), RestrictionResult, and usage

1-27: LGTM!Clear module documentation and appropriate imports for comprehensive approval and restriction testing.
34-126: Test fixtures are well-designed.The static analysis warnings about unused
contextandparamsparameters are false positives. These test tools must implement the abstractToolinterface, which requires these signatures even when specific implementations don't use all parameters.
133-182: LGTM!Comprehensive tests for the ApprovalRequirement and RestrictionResult models covering all key scenarios.
247-322: Toolset approval configuration tests are comprehensive.The use of
object.__setattr__to bypass Pydantic validation is necessary given thattoolsetis accessed dynamically viagetattrin the tool methods rather than being a declared model field. This pattern is consistent throughout the test file.The static analysis warnings about unused
base_contextare false positives.
368-525: LGTM!Excellent test coverage of the restriction mechanism. The tests clearly demonstrate that restriction is enforced by filtering tools from the tools list (via
include_restrictedparameter), not by blocking at invocation time. This design separation is clean and well-tested.
532-603: LGTM!Excellent coverage of the interaction between approval and restriction mechanisms. The tests correctly verify that these are orthogonal concerns that can be combined, and that
user_approved=Truebypasses both.
610-797: LGTM!Comprehensive validation tests covering all configuration scenarios including edge cases like empty patterns, wildcards, and the new
restrict_all_toolsflag. The test at lines 778-797 correctly verifies thatrestrict_all_tools=Trueoverrides even empty pattern lists, which is the expected behavior.holmes/core/tools.py (7)
1-1: LGTM!Clean addition of
fnmatchfor pattern matching and well-designed Pydantic models for approval and restriction results.Also applies to: 110-122
175-177: LGTM!Appropriate extensions to support restriction enforcement via context flags and per-tool configuration.
Also applies to: 193-196
239-250: LGTM!Clean implementation of [RESTRICTED] prefix for tool descriptions in OpenAI format. The description is copied before modification, preserving the original.
262-276: LGTM!Well-structured approval check at invocation time. The early return when
user_approved=Trueis efficient, and the APPROVAL_REQUIRED status with reason provides clear feedback.
314-380: Well-implemented restriction and approval logic.The methods correctly implement the layered checking approach:
_is_restricted: Checks tool flag → toolset flag → patterns (correct precedence)_check_approval_config: Checks all-tools flag → patterns (correct precedence)_get_approval_requirement: Checks toolset config → tool-specific logic (correct precedence)requires_approval: Proper hook method for subclasses to overrideThe static analysis warning about unused parameters in
requires_approvalis a false positive—this is an intentional hook method with a default no-op implementation.
683-699: LGTM!Clean addition of restriction and approval configuration fields to the Toolset model. Proper use of
Fieldwithdefault_factoryfor lists and clear descriptions for each field.
961-967: LGTM!Proper declaration of restriction/approval fields in
ToolsetYamlFromConfig. The comment correctly explains why these must be explicitly declared—to ensure they're recognized when parsing YAML and included inmodel_dump()for theoverride_with()mechanism.Based on learnings, this follows established patterns for toolset configuration extensibility.

- Line 250: Remove the unused fixture parameter base_context from the test
function signatures that declare it (e.g.,
test_approval_required_tools_pattern_match and the other two test methods
referenced in the diff) since the fixture is not used inside those tests; update
each function signature to remove the base_context parameter and ensure no

tests/core/test_tool_approval_restriction.py (4)
1-27: LGTM! Well-structured test module.The imports are properly organized at the top of the file, following the coding guidelines. The module docstring clearly explains the two orthogonal security mechanisms being tested.
34-126: Well-designed test fixtures.The test tool implementations (SimpleTool, ApprovalRequiredTool, ConditionalApprovalTool) provide comprehensive coverage of different approval scenarios. The pytest fixtures are appropriately configured.
Note: Ruff flags unused parameters in the fixture classes, but these are required to match the abstract base class signatures and are expected in test implementations.
268-268: Acceptable workaround for testing toolset association.The use of
object.__setattr__(tool, "toolset", toolset)to bypass Pydantic validation is a practical testing pattern. While not ideal, it's necessary to test the toolset-level restriction and approval configuration logic without requiring substantial refactoring.Also applies to: 293-293, 316-316, 408-408, 430-430, 642-642, 648-648, 656-656, 680-680, 702-702, 728-728
133-732: Excellent test coverage of approval and restriction mechanisms.The test suite comprehensively covers:
- Model behavior (ApprovalRequirement, RestrictionResult)
- Tool-level and toolset-level approval logic
- Pattern matching including wildcards
- Invocation flows with and without approval
- Restriction enforcement and filtering
- OpenAI format integration
- Combined scenarios
The tests validate both positive and negative cases, edge cases, and configuration validation. This aligns with the learning that new toolsets require integration tests.
holmes/core/tools.py (13)
1-1: LGTM! Import properly placed.The
fnmatchimport is correctly placed at the top of the file for pattern matching in the restriction and approval logic.
110-122: Well-designed approval and restriction models.The
ApprovalRequirementandRestrictionResultmodels are simple Pydantic data containers with appropriate defaults. The empty string default forreasonmakes sense for cases where no explanation is needed (e.g., when approval is not required or tool is authorized).
175-177: Clear context fields for restriction enforcement.The new fields in
ToolInvokeContextare well-documented with inline comments explaining their purpose. Therestricted_tools_enabledflag provides explicit request-level control, whilerunbook_in_useindicates runbook authorization state.
193-196: LGTM! Clear restriction flag.The
restrictedfield on the Tool class has a clear description explaining the authorization requirements.
239-250: Correct [RESTRICTED] prefix implementation.The modification to
get_openai_formatproperly adds the[RESTRICTED]prefix to tool descriptions before formatting for OpenAI, making restricted tools identifiable in the LLM's tool list.
262-276: Well-implemented approval check at invocation time.The approval logic correctly:
- Skips checks when
user_approved=True- Returns
APPROVAL_REQUIREDstatus with reason when approval is needed- Prevents tool execution until approval is granted
The inline comment clarifying that restriction is enforced at the tools list level (not during invocation) is helpful for understanding the architecture.
314-328: Robust restriction checking with pattern matching.The
_is_restrictedmethod correctly:
- Checks the tool-level
restrictedflag first- Falls back to toolset-level pattern matching using
fnmatch- Supports wildcards (e.g., "*" for all tools)
This provides flexible restriction configuration at both tool and toolset levels.
330-340: Correct approval priority order.The
_get_approval_requirementmethod properly prioritizes toolset-level configuration over tool-specific logic, allowing toolset administrators to enforce approval requirements centrally.
342-357: Pattern-based approval configuration works correctly.The
_check_approval_configmethod properly implements toolset-level approval configuration using fnmatch pattern matching. The reason message includes the matched pattern, which helps users understand why approval is required.
359-368: Appropriate extensibility hook for tool-specific approval.The
requires_approvalmethod provides a clean extension point for tools to implement custom approval logic. The default implementation returnsNone(no approval needed), which is appropriate.Note: Ruff flags the unused parameters, but this is a false positive for an extensibility method that subclasses are expected to override.
671-679: Well-documented toolset configuration fields.The
restricted_toolsandapproval_required_toolsfields on the Toolset class are properly configured with:
- Clear descriptions mentioning pattern support and wildcard usage
default_factory=listto avoid mutable default issues- Inline comments explaining the pattern-based approach
941-945: Necessary explicit declaration for YAML configuration.The explicit declaration of
restricted_toolsandapproval_required_toolsinToolsetYamlFromConfigis necessary for correct YAML parsing and theoverride_withmethod to work properly. The inline comments clearly explain this requirement.
297-312: Remove the unused_check_restrictionmethod.This method is defined but never called anywhere in the codebase. Restriction enforcement occurs at the tools list level via
ToolExecutor.get_all_tools_openai_format(which filters using_is_restricted), not at invocation time. Theinvokemethod explicitly notes this architectural decision on line 265: "Restriction is enforced at the tools list level, not here." Since_check_restrictionhas no callers and no test coverage, it should be removed.
Remove unit tests and LLM eval tests for tool approval/restriction functionality as requested. Signed-off-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

195-199: Logic looks correct; minor edge case with empty args list.The fallback handles generic MCP tools with
argsparameters appropriately, and the ordering ensures gcloud-specific formatting takes precedence.Minor edge case: when
argsis an empty list, the result will have a trailing space (e.g.,"toolname "). Consider stripping or conditionally adding the space.🔧 Optional fix for trailing space

The exception handler in bash _invoke() was falling back to executing the original (potentially unsafe) command when make_command_safe() raised an exception. This contradicts the security model since context.user_approved is False at that point. Now returns an error instead of executing the unvalidated command.

In @holmes/plugins/toolsets/bash/bash_toolset.py:
- Around line 166-193: The except block in requires_approval uses the deprecated
sentry_sdk.configure_scope() and catches argparse.ArgumentError which
make_command_safe never raises; replace configure_scope usage with
sentry_sdk.get_current_scope(), call scope.set_extra("command", command_str),
scope.set_extra("error", str(e)), scope.set_extra("unsafe_allow_all",
BASH_TOOL_UNSAFE_ALLOW_ALL) and then sentry_sdk.capture_exception(e), and change
the exception clause to only catch ValueError (i.e., except ValueError as e:);
if linter flags the unused context parameter on requires_approval, you can add a
"# noqa: ARG002" to the signature to suppress it.

14-24: LGTM!Import addition is correctly placed at the top of the file and aligns with the new
requires_approvalmethod. As per coding guidelines, Python imports should be at the top of the file.
213-228: Security fix looks correct - unsafe commands are now properly rejected.The changes implement proper defense-in-depth:
- User-approved commands execute as-is (bypassing safety transformation)
- Non-approved commands go through
make_command_safe()- If an unsafe command somehow bypasses
requires_approval()(race condition or edge case), it now returns an error instead of executingThis aligns with the PR objective to reject unsafe commands rather than executing them.

254-269: Consider semantic clarity for approval responses.The approval reason is stored in the
errorfield (line 266), but this isn't really an error - it's a deliberate approval request. While functional, this overloading may cause confusion downstream when processing results.Consider whether
StructuredToolResultshould have a dedicated field for approval reasons, or document this convention clearly.

1-1: LGTM!The
fnmatchimport is correctly placed at the top of the file and is appropriately used for shell-style pattern matching on tool names in the restriction/approval logic.
110-115: LGTM!Clean and well-documented model for encapsulating approval state. The default empty reason string is appropriate for cases where no approval is needed.
168-170: LGTM!The restriction context fields are well-documented. The comment on line 258 clarifies that restriction enforcement happens at the tools list level (in
tool_calling_llm.py), while approval checking happens here during invocation.
186-189: LGTM!The
restrictedfield is well-documented and defaults toFalse, ensuring backward compatibility with existing tools.
232-243: LGTM!Good approach to communicate tool restriction status to the LLM by prefixing the description. Using a local variable avoids mutating the instance attribute.
335-344: Hook method signature is appropriate; Ruff warning is a false positive.The
paramsandcontextarguments are intentionally part of the method signature for subclasses to override. This is a standard hook pattern where the base implementation doesn't use the parameters but derived classes may.The Ruff ARG002 warnings can be safely ignored here, or you could add
# noqa: ARG002if you want to suppress the linter noise.
647-655: LGTM!Well-documented configuration fields with sensible defaults. The pattern-based approach (supporting
*for all tools) provides good flexibility for toolset-level restriction and approval policies.
917-921: LGTM!The explicit field declarations are necessary for proper YAML parsing and
override_with()propagation. The inline comment clearly documents the rationale.
290-304: Revert this suggestion—the current design is intentional and correct.The
toolsetattribute intentionally is not declared on the baseToolclass. Subclasses that need a toolset reference explicitly declare it (e.g.,BaseKafkaTool,RemoteMCPTool) withField(exclude=True)to prevent circular reference issues during serialization. Thegetattr()pattern is a deliberate defensive fallback for optional parent references, not a fragile anti-pattern.Declaring
toolseton the base class would introduce serialization failures for tools that reference their parent toolset, requiring Field(exclude=True) on every subclass that uses it—a more error-prone pattern. The current design correctly avoids pollutingmodel_dump()output and prevents circular references, as validated by existing tests.
