Grok Build just got a new update bringing a first-class workflows catalog, Always and Never allow on permission prompts, a live status line that can refresh on a timer, and faster shutdown of looping tool calls
Release Notes: v1.0.7
Features:
• Users hitting startup timeouts can now raise the connect budget with the `GROK_CONNECT_UI_TIMEOUT_SECS` environment variable.
• Permission prompts now show "Always allow" and "Never allow" options by default.
• Users can now delete scheduled background loops directly from the tray.
• Status line command scripts can now run on a timer via refresh_interval in config.toml.
• Permission prompts now offer a 'Never allow' choice for MCP tools and web-fetch domains that persists per project.
• Workflows tab added to the extensions modal (Ctrl+L or /plugins) listing installed workflows with name, source, and description.
• New /workflows command opens the Workflows catalog tab; use /workflow runs to view live workflow runs.
• Bare /workflow (or /workflow runs) now lists active and recent workflow runs with status and progress instead of usage help.
• Workflows row added to the Ctrl+P command palette, opening the Workflows catalog tab.
Bug Fixes:
• MCP server connections in non-interactive sessions no longer incorrectly require authentication for tokenless servers.
• Fixed startup timeouts caused by concurrent auth refreshes across multiple sessions.
• Tool call loops are interrupted earlier to avoid wasting time on repeated identical actions.
• Subagents no longer receive the ask-user-question tool.
• Bare email addresses are now turned into clickable mailto links in the pager.
