# Elevated Mode (/elevated directives)
## What it does
- `/elevated on` is a **shortcut** for `exec.host=gateway` + `exec.security=full`.
- `/elevated on` is a **shortcut** for `exec.host=gateway` + `exec.security=full` (approvals still apply).
- `/elevated full` runs on the gateway host **and** auto-approves exec (skips exec approvals).
- `/elevated ask` runs on the gateway host but keeps exec approvals (same as `/elevated on`).
- Only changes behavior when the agent is **sandboxed** (otherwise exec already runs on the host).
- Directive forms: `/elevated on`, `/elevated off`, `/elev on`, `/elev off`.
- Only `on|off` are accepted; anything else returns a hint and does not change state.
- Directive forms: `/elevated on|off|ask|full`, `/elev on|off|ask|full`.
- Only `on|off|ask|full` are accepted; anything else returns a hint and does not change state.
## What it controls (and what it doesnt)
- **Availability gates**: `tools.elevated` is the global baseline. `agents.list[].tools.elevated` can further restrict elevated per agent (both must allow).
- **Per-session state**: `/elevated on|off` sets the elevated level for the current session key.
- **Inline directive**: `/elevated on` inside a message applies to that message only.
- **Per-session state**: `/elevated on|off|ask|full` sets the elevated level for the current session key.
- **Inline directive**: `/elevated on|ask|full` inside a message applies to that message only.
- **Groups**: In group chats, elevated directives are only honored when the agent is mentioned. Command-only messages that bypass mention requirements are treated as mentioned.
- **Host execution**: elevated forces `exec` onto the gateway host with full security.
- **Approvals**: `full` skips exec approvals; `on`/`ask` still honor them.
- **Unsandboxed agents**: no-op for location; only affects gating, logging, and status.
- **Tool policy still applies**: if `exec` is denied by tool policy, elevated cannot be used.
