how to fix permissions for a shortcut in Mac OS

I have created a shortcut- that renames parent folders with the name of the 1st file in that folder- but -it wants permission for every folder - I have 1000's of folders to do. I would love to automate this, can anyone give me a suggestion?

Mac mini, macOS 15.3

There is no per-Shortcut Privacy & Security setting. You may need to add (+) the Shortcuts application to the System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access panel.


This is an untested supposition as I have a Shortcut that refuses to write a file into a Desktop folder and I thought of the first paragraph as a solution but got busy and have not attempted it with my Shortcut.
