Claude Code Renames the /permissions Review Tab to "Recently blocked" and Explains Auto Mode Blocks More Clearly

Claude CodeView original changelog

Claude Code 2.1.314 renames the review tab in /permissions to "Recently blocked" and adds a footer line saying what Esc will do with marked rows. Auto mode's blocked-call messages now name the command, say Claude may retry and auto mode checks again, and point to /permissions for review. Recently blocked also refuses to approve a call the user cannot read in full, including one a short terminal cannot show.

Key Takeaways

  • The /permissions review tab is now named Recently blocked, which describes its contents more directly.
  • The tab's footer now states what Esc will do with marked rows, so the effect of leaving the tab is visible beforehand.
  • Auto mode's block messages now name the blocked command, so users can tell what was stopped.
  • The messages also say Claude may retry and auto mode checks again, which sets expectations about repeated attempts.
  • The messages point to /permissions so users know where to review a block.
  • Recently blocked now refuses to approve a call that cannot be read in full, including one a short terminal cannot display.

Overview

Claude Code 2.1.314 makes several small changes to how blocked tool calls are shown and reviewed. They affect the /permissions screen and the messages auto mode prints when it stops a call. Together they make a blocked call easier to understand and to review.

The review tab is now "Recently blocked"

The review tab in /permissions is now called Recently blocked. Its footer now says what pressing Esc will do with the rows the user has marked, so the user can see the effect before leaving the tab. The release notes do not describe any other change to the tab's contents.

Clearer messages when auto mode blocks a call

Claude Code 2.1.314 reworks the message shown when auto mode blocks a call. The message now:

  • names the command that was blocked
  • says Claude may retry, and that auto mode checks the retry again
  • points to /permissions for reviewing the block

A user watching an auto mode session can therefore tell which command was stopped, expect that Claude may try again, and know where to look.

A guard against approving what cannot be read

Recently blocked now refuses to approve a call the user cannot read in full. This includes a call that the terminal is too short to display completely. Approving a block from this tab means allowing a command to run, and the change prevents that approval from happening on a command whose full text was never visible.

Who is affected

Anyone who uses /permissions or runs auto mode will see the renamed tab and the new messages. The release notes frame these as improvements and changes to existing surfaces, and do not describe new settings to configure.
