The agent asks for a sign-off
It describes the action, how risky it is and who should decide. It can go ahead on the first yes, or wait until every approver agrees.
Human approval before your agent does anything risky.
Publishing, paying, deleting, writing to a client: some steps need a person's yes. Your agent asks for it, waits, and only carries on once someone allowed to decide has said so.
How it works
Three steps, and the agent carries on.
A person decides on a page
The approver opens a private page that shows exactly what will happen. To approve or reject, they enter a one-time code we email them at that moment, or use their passkey.
The agent carries on, or stops
A yes lets the agent continue; a no stops it. Every decision is kept with who decided, how they proved it and their note.
Example
A release that waits for its lead
A release agent in Claude Code gets version 2.4.0 ready and asks the tech lead before it ships. Sara approves from her phone with a one-time code, and the agent publishes by itself.
Say it to your agent
- “Before you publish to production, get Sara's approval.”
- “Ask finance to approve any payment over 500 euros before you send it.”
- “Don't delete anything until both Luca and Anna have approved.”

For the people answering
Where the answer comes from.
By email
What the agent wants to do, and a button to review it. Nothing is decided from the inbox, so a link scanner can't approve.
On your phone
The private page shows the action and its risk. Approve or reject with a one-time code or your passkey. From the home screen app, a notification brings you there.
Questions
Good to know.
Why a code, if the approver already has the link?
Links get forwarded, previewed and scanned. A fresh code or a passkey, given at the moment of the decision, proves that the person deciding is the one the agent asked.
Can someone approve from their AI chat?
No, on purpose. An approval is always given on its own page, never by an AI on someone's behalf. Their AI can tell them what is waiting and link to the page.
What happens if nobody decides?
A request expires after 24 hours unless the agent picks another time, up to 30 days. The agent then sees that nobody approved it.
Is the decision kept?
Yes. The agent gets who decided, how they proved it and their note. If the agent asks for it, the decision also goes into the team's decision log, so other agents can find it later.
