You can now turn sandbox access on or off from Capabilities. It starts off until you enable it.
What changed
Switch off sandbox access to block commands and repository changes.
Channels can disable inherited access, but cannot override a workspace that has it switched off.
Start repository tasks with less waiting
Tandem spends less time downloading repository history before starting your coding task.
What changed
New tasks download the current branch snapshot to reduce setup time for repositories with long histories.
Checkout failures distinguish a timeout from authentication, certificate, or transfer problems.
Give longer coding tasks time to finish
Repository work can continue through longer setup and validation runs without being cut off after fifteen minutes. Your configured task timeout and approval rules still apply.
What changed
Increase the task step budget in Advanced repository settings for work that needs more research, edits, and checks.
Retry interrupted runs without losing unpublished work before the task deadline.
Simultaneous shell requests wait their turn instead of failing as busy.
Give larger repositories time to open
Coding tasks allow more setup time for repositories with large files.
What changed
Repository downloads can run for up to five minutes, within your configured task timeout.
Cancelling a download also stops its upstream transfer.
Coding tasks have more CPU, memory, and disk space for installing dependencies and running repository checks.
See where Tandem can work on GitHub

What changed
Cancellation and time limits are checked before each further publication step.
A late publication response no longer changes a cancelled task back to completed.
Restarting after a sandbox expires clearly reports when unpublished work was interrupted.
When someone changes the task branch, Tandem reports the conflict instead of asking you to fix permissions.
Start coding tasks reliably
Fixed sandbox startup and secure repository checkout failures when beginning a coding request.
What changed
Coding commands use the execution identity required by the sandbox.
Private repository checkouts trust the secure connection used by Tandem.
Recognize Tandem throughout your workspace
Tandem now uses the same name across settings, Slack replies, approval requests, and connection sign-in screens.
What changed
Approval requests and failure notices clearly identify Tandem.
Connection screens and help text use the same name as your workspace assistant.
Connect a GitHub app you already installed
If Tandem is installed on GitHub but your account is missing from repository settings, you can now finish connecting it without reinstalling the app or changing its repository permissions.
What changed
Choose “Connect installed GitHub app” in repository settings to finish linking an existing installation to your workspace.
Find the right settings for coding requests
When coding access is unavailable, Tandem now points you to its repository settings and explains the permissions needed to get started.
What changed
Coding setup guidance no longer asks you to connect an unnecessary GitHub MCP server.
Tandem explains that channel access and workspace approval rules still apply.
Open connected repositories for coding
Fixed a connection failure that prevented coding tasks from opening an enabled GitHub repository.
What changed
Connected repositories can now be checked and cloned when starting a coding task.
Request code changes from Slack
You can enable a GitHub repository in selected Slack channels and ask Tandem to make a change. Tandem reads the project’s instructions, edits the code, runs checks, and can publish a draft pull request with the results.
What changed
Follow up in the same thread to continue the work. Repository settings let you choose channels, a starting branch and directory, a run limit, and whether publishing requires approval. Existing workspace approval rules still apply.
Clearer coding connection failures
When a connected repository cannot be checked, Tandem reports the failure instead of incorrectly saying no repositories are enabled.
What changed
Coding connection failures no longer appear as an empty repository list.
Use your connected model without extra policy setup
Selected models can now run without a separate data-retention declaration in Tandem.
What changed
Removed retention settings that could silently block connected models, including AWS Bedrock.
Simplified provider setup so you only supply credentials and the provider’s required connection details.
Existing model selections work without reconnecting the provider or changing governance settings.
Approve connected tools from Slack
Connected tools that need your approval can now send their approval request instead of failing before the request reaches you.
What changed
Fixed an error that prevented MCP and browser approval requests from starting.
Repeated approval requests continue using the same pending request.

You can remove and reconnect AWS Bedrock or another model provider without an unexpected conflict error.
What changed
Reconnecting a removed provider now works even when its previous model catalog is still in your workspace history.
Read clearer answers in Slack
Tandem's Slack replies now display formatted headings, bold text, tables, lists, and code instead of raw formatting characters.
What changed
Short questions get more concise answers, with longer reports reserved for requests that need them.
Replies after approval stay focused on your original question.
Link previews no longer interrupt the layout of an answer.
Read skill files clearly
The skill editor now uses a consistent dark background with readable text and syntax colors.
What changed
Fixed pale text appearing on a white background when editing or viewing skill files.
Kept the editor usable when browser zoom leaves less vertical space.
Finish connecting MCP tools after sign-in
MCP connections can now finish loading their tools after a successful sign-in.
What changed
Fixed a connection error that blocked discovery after you authorized a server.
Retry tool discovery using your saved sign-in instead of repeating the login flow.
Sign in and finish connecting your MCP servers
Connecting an MCP server now opens sign-in when needed and loads its tools automatically after you return to Tandem.
What changed
Finish setup for servers that were previously left at “Added.”
See when a server is connected, retry a failed connection, or reconnect an expired sign-in.
Use an API token when a server requires one, and go directly to agent access settings once its tools are ready.
Connect older remote servers as well as servers using the current connection protocol.
Keep supported MCP connections signed in
Connecting an MCP server can now request permission to renew its sign-in automatically when the server supports it.
What changed
Servers such as Ally can provide renewable access instead of requiring another login when the first session expires.
Existing connections need one reconnect to grant this permission.
Connect tools when optional context is unavailable
MCP tools can finish connecting when a server advertises optional context sources that it does not provide.
What changed
An unsupported context list no longer prevents available tools from connecting.
Start MCP sign-in without a connection error
Connecting or retrying an MCP server now reaches its sign-in page instead of immediately showing a connection error. This fixes automatic sign-in across remote MCP providers, including PostHog.
What changed
Retry existing connections to open the provider’s sign-in page.
Connected tools run without incorrectly rejecting valid arguments or structured results.
Approve requests to connected tools
Requests to connected MCP tools no longer fail with an approval mismatch before you can approve them. This applies to PostHog, Ally, and other connected servers that require approval.
What changed
Approval requests can now proceed to connected tools after you approve the exact action.
Unapproved or changed actions remain blocked.
Approved tools can finish in Slack channels
Approving a tool request from a Slack channel now lets Tandem carry out the approved action and return its result.
What changed
Channel approvals no longer fail with an incorrect configuration-change message when the configuration has stayed the same.
Approval still applies only to the exact action you reviewed.
Connect Bedrock without a false validation error
Connecting or refreshing Amazon Bedrock no longer fails when the model list ends with an empty continuation token. Unexpected provider responses are now reported as provider errors, instead of suggesting that your connection form is malformed.
What changed
Connect and refresh Bedrock even when the provider explicitly marks the end of its model list.
See a provider error when Bedrock returns an unexpected response.
Find more Claude models through Amazon Bedrock
Your Bedrock model list now includes Claude Sonnet and Opus options available through cross-region inference. Refresh your connected provider's models to see the expanded selection.
What changed
Browse models across all pages of Bedrock's available inference profiles.
Use supported Claude and Nova models with agent tools.
Get a clear permission error when Bedrock prevents the complete model list from loading.
Let routine actions proceed automatically
You can now set an approval policy in General so Tandem can handle permitted reads and clearly requested, small reversible changes without interrupting you.
What changed
Choose Auto, Ask before changes, or Read only, and write additional approval instructions.
Keep consequential or uncertain actions in the existing approval flow in your Slack thread.
Read only blocks changes and uncertain calls without offering an approval that cannot run.
Verify read-only MCP tools to let them run without a separate model review. A changed tool catalog requires verification again.
Existing approval restrictions stay in place until you change them. Automatic changes have per-request and workspace limits.
Approve actions in the conversation where you asked
Approval cards now appear in the same Slack conversation as your request, keeping the decision and result together.
What changed
Channel requests receive an approval card in their reply thread, including requests that start as a new channel message.
Approve or reject a single action without switching to a direct message. Only the requester can decide, and requests still expire after 30 minutes.
Direct-message requests keep their approval cards in that direct message.
Use your published skills in conversations
Enabled skills now load their published instructions without an incorrect checksum error.
What changed
Fixed activation of valid skill files while preserving checks that reject altered files.
Fixed approval requests being marked as failed after Slack had successfully delivered them.
Connect your Slack workspace from one button
Continue with Slack now guides any Slack workspace through installation and sign-in, while connected workspaces go straight to their workplace.
What changed
Each workplace connects its own Slack workspace and keeps its access separate.
Installation continues automatically into sign-in with the same Slack account.
Cancelled or expired sign-ins explain how to try again, including when workspace admin approval is needed.

Read public websites without connecting a separate MCP server or signing into a website.
Let your agent click, fill forms, and submit actions using your workspace’s approval policy.
Existing workspaces keep web access off until an administrator enables it.
Connect private GitHub Skills to Tandem
You can now give Tandem read-only access to selected private repositories and import a Skill by pasting its GitHub URL.
What changed

Return from GitHub authorization with the pending repository URL restored.
Keep repository-access management separate from the import flow.
Connect private GitHub repositories as Skill sources
Workspace managers can connect GitHub, browse repositories and branches granted to Tandem, and copy or link Skills from private repositories. Linked Skills can require review or automatically apply valid upstream revisions, with pause, history, and rollback controls.
What changed
Import public GitHub Skills without connecting an account.
Browse only the private repositories and branches granted to Tandem.
Choose reviewed or automatic updates and safely return to an earlier version.
Keep navigation in place while creating a Time Loop
The Time Loop form now scrolls inside the app without moving the whole page or leaving empty space below it.
What changed
Workspace navigation and your user menu remain available when you enlarge text or zoom in.
Moving through form controls keeps scrolling inside the working area.
New pages open at the top, while going back restores your previous position.
Run trusted work automatically with Time Loops

Keep scheduled Slack approvals and delivery working when Slack rotates the app's access token.
See when your mention is being handled
Tandem adds an 👀 reaction to an accepted direct mention before preparing its reply, so you can see that your request is being handled.
What changed
Direct mentions receive a quick acknowledgement, including mentions inside a thread.
Disabled channels stay silent, and a failed reaction does not prevent a reply.
Existing installations can grant reaction access by reconnecting Slack.
Choose channel access for each Time Loop
You can now select which Slack channels a Time Loop may read and which channels it may post to when creating or updating its configuration.
What changed
Set reading and posting permissions separately, with no channels selected by default.
