Review approvals

Approve, reject, or revert the changes the copilot proposes — the human decision point for money-moving writes.

Approvals is where you decide on the changes the copilot proposes but the policy won't auto-apply. Everything money-moving that isn't bounded and low-risk lands here with its risk tier, the reason it queued, and the exact before/after — so a decision takes seconds, not investigation.

The queue

Open the Approvals page (or asa_list_pending_actions over MCP). Each item shows:

  • What — the entity and the exact change (e.g. budget €40 → €52).
  • Risk tier — safe (would auto-apply) or review (queued).
  • Policy reasons — why it queued: outside the CPA band, above a step limit, a strategy change, a daily auto-apply cap hit, and so on.

Decide

Approve

Applying runs the change through Apple. The apply worker re-checks the policy and re-validates first, and hard-caps any budget change at 3× the current value — defense in depth even for changes you approved.

Reject

Drop a proposal you don't want. Rejections are recorded in history with who and when.

Revert

A change that was applied — and whose prior state was snapshotted — can be reverted. Every write stores its prior* values precisely because Apple has no change history to reconstruct from.

Over MCP, approvals are operator-only: asa_approve_action, asa_reject_action, and asa_revert_action exist only in the MCP bridge, where a human drives. The in-app copilot cannot approve its own proposals.

The kill switch

If you want to stop all auto-apply immediately, the org kill switch (asaAutoApply) is checked at both propose and apply time. With it off, every write queues here regardless of tier. See the safe-apply policy for the full gate list.
