Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Requests and ideas

Please allow to have "web-fetch" as an auto-approved tool in automations. Creating an automation that e.g. using auto-pilot that relies on web-fetch to gather data and provide a summary is not possible today as it keeps asking to manually approve each web-fetch.

Research direction

Start at the /workflows area and trace how automation tool approvals are handled for web-fetch. Determine how an automation can mark web-fetch as auto-approved while preserving the existing approval behavior for other tools. Done means an automation using web-fetch can run without repeated manual approval prompts.
