Claim
with a safety reviewer analyzing every command
Correction

fx’s official docs say auto mode does not review every command. Routine actions run directly, and only eligible unresolved/sensitive actions are sent to the reviewer.

Full reasoning

Vercel's official fx documentation contradicts the claim that a safety reviewer analyzes every command in default auto mode.

According to the Permissions docs, auto mode first applies saved rules and session grants, and then "only eligible unresolved calls reach the reviewer." The same page says "In auto, routine actions run directly" and that other unresolved actions receive review only when they need it.

The Quick start docs say the same thing in plainer language: fx "runs routine actions, and reviews actions that need a closer look."

So the reviewer is not invoked for every command; it is invoked only for a subset of actions that remain unresolved after rule evaluation.

    In auto, routine actions run directly. Other unresolved actions receive a review of the exact pending action... Permission rules and session grants are evaluated first, so only eligible unresolved calls reach the reviewer.

  • Quick start

    fx starts in auto permission mode. It applies your saved rules, runs routine actions, and reviews actions that need a closer look.
