Problem Solved
Some models or OpenAI-compatible gateways include every advertised optional argument in ordinary pwsh, write, or edit calls. When the injected sandbox_permissions equals the session's current mode, or is narrower, DSH correctly rejects the call before it runs with an error such as:
sandbox escalation to "workspace-write" is not strictly wider than this call's current "workspace-write" modeThe same failure occurs in a danger-full-access session when the model still sends either advertised escalation mode. This is not a real sandbox denial; the session already has sufficient access, but the invalid escalation fields prevent the intended tool call from executing.
It only removes a request when it is not strictly wider than the calling session's effective sandbox mode. Valid escalation requests remain unchanged and continue through DSH's normal approval flow.
Examples:
workspace-writesession +sandbox_permissions: workspace-write: removed.danger-full-accesssession + either advertised mode: removed.read-onlysession +sandbox_permissions: workspace-write: preserved for
the regular approval flow.
The plugin hooks the tools/execute waterfall. It does not auto-approve requests and does not alter session permission state.
