AI action approval

AI & Agents · 7 checks · 18 resources

The interrupt that puts a human in the loop before an agent takes a consequential action.

Before you ship7 checks
  1. 01The exact action rendered concretely — the file diff, the API call with its parameters, the recipient and body of the message
  2. 02Blast radius stated — how many records are affected, and whether the action is reversible
  3. 03Approve, edit-then-approve, and reject as three distinct outcomes — rejection can carry a reason back to the agent
  4. 04Scope of the approval — this once, all similar actions this session, or always for this tool
  5. 05Timeout behaviour defined — what happens if the user does not respond, defaulting to not acting
  6. 06Origin trace — which agent, which run, and which instruction led to this request
  7. 07Post-action receipt — confirmation of what was actually done, with an undo where the operation supports it
