# Can I stop a tool?
Choose a permission mode based on how much independence you want to give a run.

## What this means in practice
Plan is for read-only exploration; Ask pauses for approval before changes; Auto allows ordinary writes; Full access still stops for sensitive actions such as sending, publishing, or spending.
## Practical guidance
Permission modes set different boundaries for a run. Plan is useful when you want inspection and recommendations without writes. Ask pauses for approval before each change. Auto permits ordinary writes so routine work can proceed with fewer interruptions. Full access broadens what the agent may do, but sensitive actions such as sending, publishing, or spending still stop for confirmation.
Choose the mode before starting, based on the consequences of the task rather than convenience alone. For example, reviewing files is a good fit for read-only planning; making a reversible draft may fit a more permissive mode; external communication deserves a final review. Even in a permissive mode, read the approval prompt carefully: it describes the action that will happen and gives you a chance to stop it. [← Back to Tools FAQs](https://help.iagenify.com/faqs/tools)
