test-gate

Test how tool-gates evaluates any tool invocation (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Skill, 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). When checking whether a command would be allowed, debugging why something was blocked or denied, verifying a permission rule works, simulating a tool call without running it, or confirming the defer-vs-explicit-ask wire decision. Triggers on 'is this allowed', 'test gate', 'why was this blocked', 'why was this denied', 'check permission', 'simulate tool call', 'would this run', 'does tool-gates catch this'.
