# Tool Permissions

> Set how your own chats treat each connector and app tool.

Tool Permissions let you choose how your own [Build-with-Major chats](/agents#building-with-chat) handle each connector tool and app endpoint — **always allow**, **ask**, or **always deny**. Your choices are remembered across sessions, so you don't get re-prompted for the same tool every time.

Open the page from **Account > Tool Permissions**. It lists every connector and app you have access to; click one to set decisions for its individual tools.

| Decision         | Behavior in your chats               |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **Always allow** | The tool runs without prompting you. |
| **Ask**          | You're prompted to approve each use. |
| **Always deny**  | The tool is blocked.                 |

These preferences are **additive**: only the tools you explicitly configure are affected, and everything else keeps its current default behavior.

## How this differs from agent permissions

This page controls **your own chats** — the orchestrator / Build-with-Major sessions you start. It does not affect [agents](/agents):

|                    | Tool Permissions (this page) | [Agent tool permissions](/agents/tool-permissions) |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scope**          | Your personal chats          | A specific agent, for everyone who runs it         |
| **Who sets it**    | You, for yourself            | Whoever edits the agent                            |
| **Stored against** | Your user                    | The agent                                          |

When you run an agent, its configured permissions apply — not your personal ones.
