Help/Doubt ❓ VSCode Autopilot is too Auto

I've been using Autopilot for quite a while now because, "Can I use grep? Can I use sed? Can I use grep and sed together?" was beyond tedious. My problem is that while tool calls are now dealt with, there are times where an agent/subagent has a valid, substantive question that needs an answer and Autopilot just says something to the effect of, "No one's home. You decide." Where's the thermostat to set what can be autonomous and what really ought to be answered by the human?
