Public story · 2026-03-17 · source-backed
Three configurable autonomy levels: Default Approvals, Bypass Approvals, and Autopilot (Preview) where all tool calls auto-approve, errors auto-retry, and agent questions auto-answer so the agent never stalls. Agent-Scoped Hooks (preview) attach pre/post processing logic to a single session. This is the first release under VS Code's new weekly stable cadence, replacing monthly releases. Agent autonomy control is now a standard product pattern — both the dominant IDE and the dominant CLI shipped user-configurable autonomy tiers in the same week. Source
