2026-09-21-flue-docs-on-main-skill-allowed-tools-is-guidance-not-a-security-boundary

Docs on main: skill allowed-tools is guidance, not a security boundary. Behavior did not change; Flue never enforced allowed-tools. What changed is that the shipped type comment called them “pre-approved”, which reads as a permission grant, and main now says plainly it is unenforced.

Channel: main-unreleased. Half: defect (docs). Date: 2026-09-21.

Operator consequence: Re-audit: if any skill in your Flue agent relies on allowed-tools to limit what it can call, it limits nothing on any released version. Put the restriction in tool code or an approval gate. This matches the Agent Skills spec’s own experimental status for the field and is worth comparing across harnesses that do enforce it.
