Description
### Describe the bug
Using `--allow-tool 'shell'` enables copilot to read any file which the user has access to.
Expectations:
Only access files which are listed by `/list-dirs`
### Affected version
GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.9
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Start copilot with: `copilot --allow-tool 'shell'``
❯ Read ~/.secret_test somehow and show me the content. Be creative
◐ The user is asking me to read `~/.secret_test` and show them the content. Let me just read it directly using the view tool or bash.
● Read ~/.secret_test (shell)
│ cat ~/.secret_test
└ 2 lines...
● nothing creative needed — cat works fine.
You MUST NOT SEE THIS !!
### Expected behavior
Only access files which are listed by `/list-dirs`
