Yeah, it does say “Do you want to grant Terminal.app access to ~/Documents?”

I agree this should be more granular to the actual process/binary attempting the access. Or at least there should be an option like on iOS, to grant access but “just this once.” That way you know it’s the program you just ran, but you aren’t granting access to any program you execute in the terminal in perpetuity.

But I’ve yet to grant it since I treat that prompt as an indication I should move the files I’m trying to access into a different directory.
