Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When working with production systems, it is not always obvious which commands should be confirmed with the user before execution.

For example, an innocent looking read command may result in private customer information being shown.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a flag which can enable users to force all commands to be confirmed before execution

Describe alternatives you've considered

Other workarounds, such as use-case specific prompting may work in 99% of cases, but that may not be good enough.

Additional context

Too many confirmation requests may just train users to automatically accept everything without first reading what they are agreeing to.

A paranoid mode that could be turned on and off during the conversation may be more beneficial.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing confirmation logic in the codebase, then add a global flag to force confirmation for all commands. Consider how to toggle it during conversation.
