Tool Approvals

Tool Approvals add a human approval checkpoint before sensitive tool calls are executed.

Approval Flow

  1. Agent requests execution of an approval-required tool.
  2. Request enters an approval queue with context.
  3. Reviewer approves or denies.
  4. Agent continues with a traceable decision outcome.

When to Use

  • External system mutations.
  • Financial or security-impacting actions.
  • Any operation needing explicit human sign-off.

Best Practices

  • Keep approvals targeted to high-risk actions.
  • Show clear context in every request.
  • Record decisions for audit and post-incident review.
