Hi @ryanh 

Thank you for reaching out! If you’ve accidentally denied (especially “always deny”) permission for the "create file" tool in Rovo Dev CLI, you can reset your decision by editing the CLI’s local permission settings file.

Here’s how to undo a permanent deny:

  1. Locate the Rovo Dev CLI permission settings file:
    The CLI stores your tool permission choices in a file named  ~/.rovodev/config.yml  in your home directory.

  2. Open the file in a text editor:
    For example, you can use:

    "nano ~/.rovodev/config.yml"

    or

    "code ~/.rovodev/config.yml" 

    commands

    (replace with your preferred editor)

  3. Find the entry for the denied tool:
    Look for an entry related to the "create file" tool. It may look something like:

    { "toolPermissions": { "createFile": "deny" } }

    or

    { "createFile": "deny" }
  4. Remove or change the entry:

    • To reset, you can either delete the line for "createFile" or change its value to "ask" or "allow" depending on your preference.

    • Save the file.

  5. Restart the CLI:
    The next time you run Rovo Dev CLI, it will prompt you again for permission when the tool is needed.

Depending on your operating system, it might be different where your files are stored.

I hope you won't have trouble finding the file. 

Let us know how you go!
