- 09:12 | shell_exec | success
  - Args: `{"command":"pnpm test","cwd":"/Users/you/project"}`
  - Output: `Test Files  14 passed (14) … Duration 6.2s`

- 09:30 | shell_exec | approved

- 11:45 | shell_exec | denied
  - Args: `{"command":"rm -rf node_modules","cwd":"/Users/you/project"}`
  - Reason: user denied recursive delete in project root

  - Args: `{"query":"site:internal.company.com deployment docs"}`
  - Error: search returned no results, internal site not indexed

## Learned preferences (last 7 days)

- Reliability: 214 tool calls, 96% success. Most used: shell_exec (74), file_read (38), web_search (22), …
- Recently denied (don't repeat unless the user asks again): shell_exec ×2.

### Recent corrections & failures (avoid repeating)
- 2026-05-15 shell_exec denied — user denied recursive delete in project root
- 2026-05-14 web_search failed — search returned no results, internal site not indexed
