How to automatically accept suggestions in Gemini CLI without accepting every time? [closed]

Question

While working on development tasks or modifying project code in Gemini CLI, I need to provide authorization for certain actions (write local files, search the web, call MCP tools) each time, like:

- Yes, allow once
- Yes, allow always "gcloud ..."
- No (esc)

which becomes rather cumbersome. I'd like to have the Gemini CLI run for a while without clicking Yes, allow once every time. Is there an option?

You can use YOLO mode. If you start gemini with --yolo or hit Ctrl y, you won't be asked for any permissions. Ctrl y toggles it on and off as you need it so you don't have to exit in between.
