Not all agent actions should be executed immediately. Approval workflows provide the governance layer that ensures high-stakes decisions receive appropriate human oversight before execution.
The Core Principle
Risk-based routing: Low-risk actions auto-execute. Medium-risk actions require single approval. High-risk actions need multi-level review. Critical actions go through conditional chains with specialized expertise at each stage.
💡 The goal isn't to slow everything down—it's to automate safely by matching oversight to risk level.
Four Key Benefits
Prevents costly mistakes by requiring human sign-off before irreversible or high-impact actions.
Creates audit trails showing who approved what and when—essential for regulated industries.
Agents handle 90% of routine work while humans focus on the 10% that truly needs judgment.
By routing smartly, most actions proceed instantly while critical ones get proper review.

Approval workflows aren't about adding bureaucracy—they're about strategic friction. Apply it only where the cost of a mistake exceeds the cost of delay.
