# Let agents work. Keep the final say. Source: https://corespeed.io/solutions/agent-approvals Approval gates on CoreSpeed let your agents keep working while you keep the final say. Write in plain English which tool actions need a person; reads are never held, and a write that matches your policy waits for the addressed member to approve or deny it. It covers every agent that calls tools through CoreSpeed. ## Set up an agent Give your agent this line: `set up https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md (read it raw, e.g. with curl)` It fetches the skill at https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md, adds the CoreSpeed MCP server, signs you in (or up), and keeps the skill for next time. Approvals are off until you turn them on. Write your policy in the CoreSpeed dashboard. Create an account: https://app.corespeed.io/sign-up ## The agent asks. You decide A held call waits for you. Read the proposed action before it runs, then approve it, or deny it with a reason. You ask your agent: "Tell #launch that the new onboarding flow ships on Thursday." It calls CoreSpeed: - `slack__search_messages`: ok, 388 ms - `slack__post_message`: Held for you It reads from: Slack, CoreSpeed policy. ### Held for review: Post to #launch State: Waiting **Proposed message** - “The new onboarding flow ships on Thursday.” **Matched policy** - Ask before posting to a public channel. **Your decision** - Approve, and the post runs. - Deny with a reason, and it does not. _Illustrative example · Reads are not gated_ Read the approvals docs: https://corespeed.io/docs/approvals ## One policy. Three clear outcomes How a policy treats three calls. The examples are illustrative. ### Keep reads moving Read project notes · Illustrative call - Read-only: No approval gate - Outcome: Context returned to the agent - Allow ### Review a sensitive write Publish a team update · Example policy on - Policy match: Ask before public posts - Outcome: Waiting for the responsible person - Ask ### Stop an unwanted action A held write request · Illustrative decision - Decision: Denied with a reason - Outcome: The action does not run - Deny ## Write the rule once. Review what needs you Approvals cover tool actions through CoreSpeed, from any compatible agent. 1. **Connect your agent**: Set up CoreSpeed with the agent your team already uses. 2. **Turn on approvals**: Write the organization's policy, and choose the default for writes it does not mention. 3. **Review a held action**: The addressed member or the key's owner approves or denies it. Setup guides: Claude Code https://corespeed.io/docs/mcp#claude-code · Codex https://corespeed.io/docs/mcp#codex · Cursor https://corespeed.io/docs/mcp#cursor ## Questions ### Are approvals on automatically? No. Turn approvals on and save your policy first. A new organization has no active gate. ### Does every tool call need approval? No. Reads are never held. Writes are judged against your policy, and your default decides the ones it does not mention. ### What happens when the policy does not mention a write? Your default decides. On Balanced an ordinary write runs and a destructive one asks; Strict asks for every write, Relaxed lets it run, Lockdown refuses. Approvals docs: https://corespeed.io/docs/approvals ### Can an agent approve its own request? No. The addressed member, or the owner of the calling agent or API key, decides. Seeing the queue gives an admin no approval authority. ### Does this control actions outside CoreSpeed? No. The gate covers tool calls that pass through CoreSpeed, not every action inside another agent product. ## Related pages - [Airtable for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor](https://corespeed.io/integrations/airtable): Let your agent read Airtable bases, filter records with a formula, and draft a summary.
