# Tools and Features

DinoAI Tools extend its capabilities by providing access to your data warehouse, files, external services, and web resources for contextual assistance.

***

### Managing Tools

DinoAI includes a built-in **Tools Settings** panel where you can view and manage every tool available to the assistant.

**To open it**, click the **Settings** icon inside the prompt input bar.

#### Auto-Accept vs. Ask for Permission

For each tool you can choose how DinoAI handles tool calls:

| Mode                   | Behaviour                                                           |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Auto-accept**        | DinoAI runs the tool automatically without asking for confirmation  |
| **Ask for permission** | DinoAI pauses and waits for your approval before executing the tool |

Choose **Ask for permission** for tools that make writes or run commands, and **Auto-accept** for read-only lookups where you want faster responses.

#### Terminal Tool — Commands Allow List

The Terminal Tool has an additional configuration option: the **Commands Allow List**.

Use glob patterns to control which terminal commands are auto-approved and can run automatically without a permission prompt. Commands that do not match any pattern in the list will always require explicit approval, regardless of the auto-accept setting.

**Examples:**

```
dbt *          # auto-approve all dbt commands
git status     # auto-approve only git status
git diff *     # auto-approve git diff with any arguments
pytest *       # auto-approve test runs
```
