Feature Request: Full Autonomous Mode — Auto-Approve All Actions (like Claude Code / ChatGPT Work)

Q&A

Problem

Currently, Amazon Quick Desktop requires manual approval for almost every action — connector operations (Slack, email), file writes, and more. This creates constant interruptions and makes it impossible to run complex multi-step workflows autonomously.

While the “Full Access” setting in Tools permissions helps with file operations, connector actions still require approval at every occurrence. There is no “trust this agent” or “auto-approve” option.

This is a significant gap compared to competing products:

  • Claude Code has “YOLO mode” — full terminal access, no approval prompts
  • ChatGPT Work runs tasks in the background with full autonomy
  • Cursor / Windsurf allow agents to execute commands freely

What I’d Like to See

  1. Global Auto-Approve Mode — A single toggle (like Claude Code’s --dangerously-skip-permissions) that lets the agent execute all operations without prompting. Users who enable this understand the risks.

  2. Per-Connector Auto-Approve — Allow users to set “Full Access” on connector actions (Slack send, email send, etc.), not just system tools.

  3. Native Shell/Terminal Access — Built-in ability to run PowerShell/cmd/bash commands without requiring a custom MCP Server workaround. The current Code Execution sandbox blocks subprocess entirely.

  4. Session-Level Trust — “Trust this conversation” option that auto-approves all actions for the duration of a session.

Community Support

This is not just my frustration. The thread Repetitive action approvals shows multiple users reporting the same pain point:

“Multiple other community users have noted their frustration on the tedious nature of this experience.”

Impact

  • Breaks flow for power users running multi-step automations
  • Makes Quick Desktop feel less capable than alternatives
  • Forces complex workarounds (custom MCP servers) for basic shell access
  • Limits the “agentic AI” value proposition when the agent can’t act independently

Environment

  • Amazon Quick Desktop (Windows)
  • PowerShell 7 (pwsh)
  • Python 3.x

Thank you for considering this. Happy to provide more details or use cases.
