User Rejected Permission for Tool Call

GLOB ERRORED The user rejected permission to use this specific tool call. RESULT: status: error

What this error means

When using OpenCode with Paperclip, the agent needs user approval for various tool operations like reading/writing files. If the user isn't actively monitoring the terminal, the permission request is either timed out or explicitly rejected. This causes the agent to fail its tasks even though there's no actual technical problem.

Why this happens

OpenCode's security model requires interactive user approval for tool calls. This works fine when you're actively watching, but breaks automation when you're not there to press 'y' for every action.

Common causes

  • Agent running in background without user present
  • Permission timeout before user could respond
  • Running agent in autonomous/heartbeat mode
  • Multiple permission requests overwhelming the user

You'll see these symptoms

  • GLOB ERRORED messages
  • The user rejected permission to use this specific tool call
  • Tasks fail with 'status: error'
  • Agent can't access files it needs
