Which Linear task belongs to this PR?

Fixes EXSC-1305

Why did I implement it this way?

The "Environment & resource access" section in .agents/context.md opened with what agents cannot do, which led an agent to treat all MongoDB access as unreachable, including MONGODB_URI (RPC endpoints). The section is now a short rule: run Mongo-backed scripts directly, assume the Safe tunnel is up, hand off if a script reports it down, and never run the browser SSO login, open a prod tunnel, or use 1Password/op. It stays in prose because AGENTS.md and .cursorrules symlink to this file, so Cursor and Codex read it too.

.claude/settings.json adds deny rules for lifi-connect prod, aws sso login and op. These only apply to Claude Code and only catch direct invocations: an absolute path, bun run <cmd>, bash -c or a script still gets through. They are a guard against accidents, not a sandbox.

docs/Setup-agents.md no longer tells agents to run aws sso login. The Safe Mongo connection error now names bun run safe:tunnel (which also refreshes an expired SSO session) as the human step, and no longer asserts the tunnel is the cause, since it is thrown for any connect failure.

Checklist before requesting a review

Checklist for reviewer (DO NOT DEPLOY and contracts BEFORE CHECKING THIS!!!)

  • I have checked that any arbitrary calls to external contracts are validated and or restricted
  • I have checked that any privileged calls (i.e. storage modifications) are validated and or restricted
  • I have ensured that any new contracts have had AT A MINIMUM 1 preliminary audit conducted on by <company/auditor>

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Drop the always-loaded "Environment & resource access" section from
.agents/context.md and enforce its human-only steps as permission deny
rules (lifi-connect prod, aws sso login, op). Reword the Safe Mongo
connection error so it names opening the tunnel as a human step.

Explain Change →

Walkthrough

Agent command restrictions and environment-access guidance changed. Safe MongoDB connection errors now direct agents to ask a human to start the tunnel with bun run safe:tunnel.

Changes

Agent access guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update production access rules and tunnel instructions
.claude/settings.json, script/deploy/safe/safe-utils.ts, .agents/context.md, docs/Setup-agents.md
The deny list adds production tunnel, AWS SSO login, and 1Password command patterns. Safe MongoDB guidance directs agents to ask a human to start the tunnel with bun run safe:tunnel. Agent guidance says Mongo-backed scripts load .env, describes tunnel availability, and references docs/Setup-agents.md. It removes the instruction to use aws sso login --sso-session LIFI instead of awslogin.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 181dc

The change tightens agent access guidance and adds deny rules, but an agent session with a TTY could still trigger a production tunnel or SSO login through a Safe script wrapper. Restrict or detect agent sessions in the wrapper, or require non-TTY execution, before relying on this guidance.

AGENTS.md and .cursorrules symlink to .agents/context.md, so Cursor and
Codex need the rule in prose; the deny rules only cover Claude Code.
Drop the aws sso login instruction from Setup-agents.md, and have the
Safe Mongo error name bun run safe:tunnel without asserting the tunnel
is the cause.

LGTM. Clearer than the old prose, the deny rules are valid and don't block anything agents need, and the scope note on what they catch is honest. Two small non-blocking suggestions inline.

Agents running the Safe package scripts (bun propose-safe-tx, confirm-safe-tx, execute-timelock, ...) never reach this error when the tunnel is down: with-safe-tunnel.sh runs first and, in a non-TTY shell, exits at line 141 telling the human lifi-connect prod smart-contracts. So the agent relays that command instead of bun run safe:tunnel, and the SSO refresh is missed. Worth changing that one echo to bun run safe:tunnel so the hand-off reads the same everywhere?

"Directly" could be read as bunx tsx script/deploy/safe/<x>.ts, which skips the typechain/ABI build the package scripts run first (confirm-safe-tx, execute-timelock in package.json). Maybe "Run Mongo-backed scripts via their bun run package script, without pre-checking access"?

🔍 QA Review — EXSC-1305 · PR #2629

Verdict: ✅ Approve · Review type: 🆕 First review · Head 181dc57a78da · 0 gating findings

Summary

Docs, agent config and one error string only (4 files, +14/−14). The Claude Code deny rules (lifi-connect prod*, aws sso login*, op *) sit in permissions.deny. No src/ contract changes, so no audit entry is needed; CI is green, AuditNotRequired is set, and 0xDEnYO has approved this head.

Findings

None gating.

🔵 Note — AC wording vs implementation. The ticket says "Remove the section from .agents/context.md". The PR keeps a shortened section instead. The PR body explains why: AGENTS.md and .cursorrules symlink to this file, so Cursor and Codex still need the prose. Reasonable, but the ticket text is now out of date.

🔵 Note — overlong line. The reworded paragraph in docs/Setup-agents.md runs past the surrounding wrap width. It is cosmetic.

Checked

  • getSafeMongoCollection() error text: no test or other file references the old message. The only code match for "Could not reach the Safe MongoDB" is its own definition.
  • Deny rules only catch direct invocations, as the PR body says. They are an accident guard, not a sandbox.
  • docs/Setup.md (the human setup path) still names lifi-connect prod smart-contracts, which is correct for humans.

Resolution status

First review, so there are no prior findings.
