Approvals

Approvals are the human oversight surface for sensitive AI decisions and agent actions.

They are used when a workflow should not proceed on automation alone.

Who Uses It

• business reviewers approving domain-specific actions
• risk and compliance reviewers checking policy-sensitive decisions
• support or operations managers approving customer-impacting actions
• security reviewers approving sensitive tool or data access

What It Shows

The Approvals surface should make it clear:

• what action is waiting for review
• which policy reason triggered approval
• what context the reviewer needs
• when the request expires
• what happens on timeout
• who approved or rejected the request
• which session, task, deployment, or trace the approval belongs to

Why It Matters

Human oversight should be recorded as part of the runtime path, not handled in a side channel.

Approvals give Orlo an explicit evidence trail for consequential AI actions.
