Kiro CLI 1.27: Simplified Agent Creation & Granular Tool Trust

TL;DR

  • CLI now auto-generates agent configs from natural language descriptions
  • New session settings tool lets you tweak preferences mid-conversation without restarting
  • Granular scoped permissions for shell commands — control exactly what the agent can execute

New

  • Agent config generation — Describe what you need and Kiro CLI generates your agent configuration automatically, cutting setup friction.
  • Session settings tool — Adjust agent preferences mid-conversation without editing config files or restarting your session.
  • Granular tool trust scoping — Define fine-grained permissions for shell commands instead of all-or-nothing access control.
