Agent Action Approval Gate
A runtime approval gate that intercepts only high-risk agent actions, such as refunds, deployments, deletes, emails, and database writes, before execution. It gives small teams human review on dangerous tool calls without blocking harmless reads.
🎯The Problem
An agent drafts a support response, then calls refund_customer because it misread a complaint. Another agent deletes test data with a broad SQL tool in production. Tool calling makes agents useful, but the difference between read customer and refund customer is enormous. Small teams need a brake on dangerous actions without turning every agent run into a meeting.
💡The Solution
Wrap high-risk tools with a policy check. When an agent attempts a gated action, the gate pauses execution, shows the proposed tool, arguments, risk reason, and context, then waits for a human approval, denial, or edited argument set before continuing.
👥Target Users
Indie devs and small teams of 1-10 running agents that can call billing APIs, mutate databases, send messages, deploy code, delete files, or change customer accounts.
