Permissions

Permissions cover filesystem, shell, Git, network/MCP, and external actions. Nova applies them through capability exposure and approval rather than trusting prompt wording.

Use the current implementation

Ask Nova to inspect before editing, review proposed tool calls, and keep credentials outside the workspace. Configure organisation or project policy through supported controls.

Boundaries and safety

Operating-system permissions and Nova policy are separate layers; satisfying one does not guarantee the other.
