Standing Approvals

Standing approvals let you pre-authorize an agent to execute a specific action type without asking for approval each time. They’re useful for routine, trusted actions that you don’t want to review individually.

​
How They Work

When a standing approval is active and an agent submits a matching request:
  1. Permission Slip checks the action type and parameters against the standing approval’s constraints.
  2. If everything matches, the request is automatically approved — no notification, no manual review.
  3. The execution count increments.
  4. The action is logged in the activity feed.
If no standing approval matches, the request falls through to the normal one-off approval flow.

​
Create a Standing Approval

1

Open the Standing Approvals card

On your dashboard, find the Standing Approvals card and click Create Standing Approval.
2

Fill in the details

  • Agent — select which agent this applies to (deactivated agents are excluded).
  • Action Type — the action type to pre-authorize (e.g., github.create_issue).
  • Version — the action version (defaults to 1).
  • Max Executions — how many times the agent can use this approval. Leave blank for unlimited.
  • Expires At — when the standing approval expires. Defaults to 30 days, maximum 90 days.

Create

Click Create. The standing approval is immediately active and appears in the table.

​
Monitoring Usage

The Standing Approvals table shows: The execution badge turns red when usage reaches 90% of the maximum, so you know when it’s about to be exhausted.

Revoke a Standing Approval

To revoke a standing approval at any time:
  1. Click Revoke on the standing approval row.
  2. Confirm in the dialog.
After revocation, the agent will need per-request approval for that action type going forward. Revocation cannot be undone — you’ll need to create a new standing approval if you want to re-authorize the action.
Standing approvals are also automatically revoked when you deactivate an agent or remove a connector.
