argent-settings-permissions

argent-settings-permissions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from software-mansion/argent. It costs 140 tokens per session (2,786 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A test setup tool for changing an app's camera, microphone, photos, contacts, notifications, location, and other runtime permissions on an iOS simulator or Android device. It edits the device's permission records directly instead of using the system Settings screen.

In plain words
What is it for?
Pre-approving, denying, or resetting app permissions before tests, especially for testing permission prompts and refusal paths on iOS simulators or Android devices.
Why use it?
It makes repeatable permission testing possible without manually navigating Settings. You can prepare an allowed, denied, or first-run permission state when the app's normal flow cannot reach it.

About the project

Argent is a toolkit that lets an AI assistant control and inspect iOS, Android, TV, Electron, and Chromium applications through simulators, emulators, physical devices, or desktop connections. It is for developers who want an agent to interact with interfaces, reproduce issues, test features, debug applications, or run profiling tasks. The catalogue add-ons expose Argent's device-control and development workflows to coding agents.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

argent-settings-permissions 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 9d 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 this tool is for

settings-permissions edits the platform's permission store directly - the iOS simulator's TCC database, or Android's package-manager permission flags. It replaces the manual Settings → Privacy dance during test setup: pre-authorize a service so the app never has to ask, deny it up front to test the refusal path, or reset it so the first-run dialog appears again on the next launch.

It is a test-setup / out-of-band tool, not a general permissions toggle. The default way to change a permission is still through the app - this tool is the exception for the cases the app can't reach.

When to use it - and when NOT to

Decide with this order. The first matching row wins.

Situation Do this Why
The app has an in-app control for the permission (a toggle in its own settings screen) Tap it in the app (describegesture-tap) - do NOT use this tool It's real user behavior and exercises the flow you're testing. See argent-device-interact.
The app is about to ask (or just asked) and the system permission dialog is on screen Tap the dialog (Allow / Don't Allow / Allow While Using App) - do NOT use this tool The app-triggered prompt is the natural path; answering it is what a user does. describe exposes the dialog buttons; fall back to screenshot only if it doesn't.
You need the permission already granted/denied before the app runs, so no dialog interrupts the flow Use this tool (grant / deny) before launch-app The app can't pre-set its own permission; a real user would do it in Settings. This is the core use case. (deny suppresses the prompt on iOS only - see Gotchas.)
The user already denied it and you need it on again Use this tool (grant) iOS never re-shows a dialog once denied - the only in-device path is the Settings app. This tool is the shortcut.
You need the first-run dialog to appear again (test the prompt itself, or reset dirty state) Use this tool (reset) Returns the permission to "not yet asked" so the app prompts on next use.
The permission is not one this tool supports on the target platform (see the support table) Do NOT use this tool It will return an "unsupported" error. Use the app dialog if the app triggers one, or navigate the real Settings app.
The setting isn't one of the 11 runtime permissions below (e.g. Wi-Fi, cellular data, dark mode, VPN, Focus) Do NOT use this tool Out of scope - drive the Settings app or the app's own UI instead.

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.
