Fix: claude-code-action tool permissions in agent_fix-obi workflow#2549
Conversation
The --allowedTools parameter in claude_args does not support Bash(X) pattern matching when passed through the SDK, causing all Bash calls to be denied. Move tool permissions to the settings input where Claude Code's own permission system properly supports Bash(X) patterns. Also add mcp__github_file_ops MCP server permissions for commit signing. Fixes failed workflow run on PR #2548 (error_max_turns after 31 turns with all Bash calls denied). Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
The agent_fix-obi workflow (used to auto-fix OBI submodule CI failures) was failing on PR #2548 because all Bash tool calls were being denied. The agent hit the 30-turn limit (error_max_turns) without making any progress.
Root Cause
Tool permissions were configured via
--allowedToolsin claude_args, but the Claude Code SDK's allowedTools parameter does not support Bash(X) pattern matching (e.g.,Bash(gh),Bash(go)). The patterns were parsed into the SDK array but failed at runtime, causing all Bash calls to be rejected.Solution
Moved tool permissions to the
settingsinput where Claude Code's own permission system properly supports Bash(X) pattern matching. Also added mcp__github_file_ops MCP server permissions required for commit signing.Testing
This fix enables the workflow to properly grant Bash tool access when triggered on future OBI submodule update PRs.
