Amazon Q Auto Accept
Auto-accept Amazon Q agent tool execution in VS Code — no more clicking Run manually.
When Amazon Q Developer runs in agent mode, it asks for user confirmation before executing shell commands. This extension automatically approves those executions, enabling a fully hands-free agentic coding workflow.
How It Works
The extension polls aws.amazonq.runCmdExecution at a configurable interval. When Amazon Q presents a pending tool execution (the Run button), the command is accepted automatically. If no execution is pending, the call is silently ignored with zero overhead.
A concurrency lock (isRunning) ensures only one approval is in-flight at a time, preventing duplicate triggers and keeping the UI responsive.
