Cline on Windows: what it can do on your computer
In short
By default, without asking you, it can read files anywhere with its file tools, edit files anywhere with its file tools, reach any web address and use every tool of its MCP servers, add-ons that give it extra tools, such as access to other services.
What it can do by default
According to the vendor's documentation or source code, before you change any setting.
| Action | Where | By default | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Read files | Any path | Without asking | Official source | |
| Edit files | Any path | Without asking | A fresh install reads and edits files without asking. | Official source |
| Run commands | All commands | Asks first | Official source | |
| Connect to the internet | Any website | Without asking | Its browser tool runs without asking. | Official source |
| Use MCP tools (add-ons) | All MCP tools | Without asking | One setting, on by default, approves every MCP tool. | Official source |
"Asks first": the action needs permission. Depending on the mode it starts in, you give it, or another AI model does.
