approvals.decide
Owner only, not an agent: approve or deny a pending agent action. On approve it runs now, as the owner, and the result is saved on the request.
| Who | A person's own sign-in only (agent tokens are refused) |
| REST | POST /v1/approvals/decide |
| MCP tool | Not an MCP tool |
| Writes | yes, send an Idempotency-Key |
| Area | Team (unlimited workers) |
When to use it
An owner can say which actions an agent must ask about first, optionally only above an amount. When a rule matches, your call returns an approval id instead of running.
What to tell the owner
Ask the person to do this with their own sign-in. Your agent token is refused here.
Input
