Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/github-copilot-app/agent-sessions#choosing-tool-permissions

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The documentation uses incorrect labels for the tool permission options.

It currently says:

  • Ask every time
  • Assisted
  • Approve all

However, the actual UI displays:

  • Always ask
  • Assisted
  • Approve all

Update the documentation to use the exact UI labels for consistency.

Additional information

The documentation should match the actual application UI so users can easily find and select the correct tool permission settings without confusion.
