Test Gate

Quality score: 80/100 · Category: Engineering · Sub-category: testing

type:review

Test how tool-gates evaluates any tool invocation (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, MCP) and show the permission decision (allow / ask / deny / defer). Pipes a synthesized JSON payload to the tool-gates binary and formats the result. Useful for verifying a new gate, debugging why a command was blocked, or distinguishing 'tool-gates explicitly asks' from 'tool-gates lets CC handle it'. NOT for approving a pending permission (use tool-gates:review) or editing rules manually (use update-config).
