A macOS command that opens all AppleToolbox privacy-permission prompts together. It covers permissions such as microphone, camera, screen recording, contacts, and file access.

Use it before using AppleToolbox features that need macOS privacy permissions.

It gathers the interruptions at one planned moment instead of asking for them later during use. macOS still requires you to approve each prompt, and Full Disk Access must be enabled separately in System Settings.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00096	$0.00337
Opus 5.5	$0.00038	$0.00135
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00019	$0.00067
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00034

Security

Grade A, and why

grant-perms scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Trigger the AppleToolbox permission burst. macOS TCC is user-mediated by design — no API or signing trick can grant Accessibility / FDA / Screen Recording silently — so this just queues every dialog at once instead of ambushing you later. Click through each one; AppleToolbox won't ask again.

Use Bash to execute (one call, then stop):

"$(mdfind "kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == 'com.esaruoho.appletoolbox'" | head -1)/Contents/MacOS/AppleToolbox" --grant-permissions

(Resolves the installed app by bundle id — the old ~/work/apple/topbar/AppleToolbox.app path is deleted by build.sh every build. Fallback path: /Applications/AppleToolbox/Apple-Workflows/AppleToolbox.app/Contents/MacOS/AppleToolbox.)

After the command completes, remind the user to also drag AppleToolbox.app into System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access (the only one with no programmatic prompt).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
