GitHub Copilot plugin version
GitHub Copilot 0.15.0.202602060509_nightly
Eclipse IDE and version
Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers 2025-06 (4.36.0) Build id: 20250605-1316 (yeah - I realy should update this - but behaviour should be independent of this because prompt is from within Github Copilot plugin))
Platform
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22631.0 x64
Steps to reproduce
Have a code base with many projects with references to, but not all projects are loaded in the Eclipse workspace (due to performance limitations of Eclipse).
Use agent mode.
Whenever the agent wants to access or modify files or directories outside of projects in the Eclipse workspace a prompt appears:
Allow reading sensitive files?
files outside workspace needs confirmation
The model wants to read sensitive files () matching pattern 'outside-workspace'.
Do you want to allow this?
[Continue][Cancel]
Logs (optional)
No response
Expected behavior
It would be great if there is an option to (temporarily/permanent) allow access. Either generally or limited by file and or directory pattern.
Actual behavior
The same prompt appears for every tool call and access of files outside the workspace.
It is currently not possible to (temporarily or permanent) grant access for the session/workspace/files/directories.
This gets anoying if the agent tries to read more than a bunch of files. Same is true for tool access (e.g. reading directories, finding files or strings).
Additional information
See microsoft/copilot-intellij-feedback#882 which is solved already. Please provide something similar for Eclipse users. Thanks!
