+### Auto Approve
+
+The standard JSON configuration schema allows you to set individual tools to be auto-approved. Since container-use provides safe isolation, you probably want actions to be auto-approved so the agents can do their work!
+
+Here's a sample `autoApprove` block for the standard JSON configuration:
+
+```json
+"autoApprove": [
+  "environment_open",
+  "environment_update",
+  "environment_checkpoint",
+  "environment_run_cmd",
+  "environment_file_read",
+  "environment_file_write",
+  "environment_file_list",
+  "environment_file_delete"
+]
+```
