Elevated Mode Documentation

Overview

The Elevated Mode feature (/elevated or /elev directives) controls execution behavior for sandboxed agents. /elevated on runs on the gateway host while maintaining exec approvals, whereas /elevated full does the same but auto-approves executions.

Key Functionality

Core behaviors:

  • on/ask: Gateway host execution with approval checks intact
  • full: Gateway host execution with automatic approval bypass
  • off: Disables elevated mode
  • These directives only affect sandboxed agents; unsandboxed agents already execute on the host

Important limitation: Only changes behavior when the agent is sandboxed; otherwise exec already runs on the host.

Access Control

Elevated mode availability is determined by multiple gates:

  • Global feature flag: tools.elevated.enabled
  • Per-provider allowlists under tools.elevated.allowFrom
  • Per-agent restrictions through agents.list[].tools.elevated

Discord has a fallback: if no Discord allowlist is specified, the DM allowlist applies automatically.

Usage Methods

Users can set elevated mode by sending directive-only messages, check current status with /elevated:, or apply directives inline within messages for single-use application.
