show_full_output: true contradicts the “Optional” warning comment and can leak sensitive data into GitHub Actions logs. Default this to false, and only enable it conditionally for debugging (e.g., via an input, env var, or workflow_dispatch parameter) so it cannot be accidentally left on for normal PRs.

The allowlist syntax here uses a space form ("Bash(gh *)") while the workflow uses a colon form (e.g., "Bash(gh pr view:*)"). If the tool-matching grammar expects the command:pattern format, these entries may not match as intended and could result in tools being blocked or unintentionally allowed. Align the settings file with the exact same pattern style used in the workflow (and ideally the same specific subcommands).

Even after moving off Bash(*), entries like Bash(gh *), Bash(git *), and Bash(python3 *) are still very permissive (e.g., gh auth, arbitrary gh api calls, arbitrary scripting). Since the workflow comment says “allow exactly what the review flow uses,” consider restricting to the minimal required subcommands (mirroring the workflow allowlist) rather than * at the tool level.

The comment states “allow exactly what the review flow uses,” but the allowlist still includes broad capabilities (Bash(git:*), Bash(python3:*), and especially Bash(gh api:*)) that can materially expand access beyond viewing PR content. If these are not strictly required, remove them; if they are required, narrow them as much as the tool syntax allows (e.g., specific gh api endpoints / specific git subcommands) to reduce the blast radius of a prompt-injection scenario.
