[ISSUE/FEATURE]: read with permission ask requires confirm for each file separately - proposing readall built-in tool #9614
I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
AI assistant may read one file at a time, but also multiple at once. If permission on read is set to ask, it requires a separate confirmation for each file, which may become tedious. Thus the proposal is to also have a readall tool, which will improve UX in interactive mode.
Thanks in advance.
Some keywords for visibility of this issue in search: read all, read-all, readAll, read many, read multiple.

These issues approach permission friction from different angles (global modes, non-blocking dialogs, runtime toggles), while your proposal specifically suggests a readall tool. You might find valuable context in these discussions for your feature request.
Feel free to ignore if your specific use case isn't covered by these alternatives.

Bump!
Neither of the issues linked by (a pretty bs) bot are related, and it also links this one to other irrelevant issues.
How hard would it be to implement?
