Permission request

The prompt asking you to approve an action before it happens. In practice this is the main place a human actually sits in the loop, which makes how it is designed a governance decision rather than a UI detail.

How you’ll hear it

“Why does it keep asking me to approve things?”

“Because it is about to change something. That prompt is your control point.”

Avoid

Approving every request by reflex.

The longer version

A permission request asks a person to approve an action before it happens. It is often the only moment a human actually checks the work. If it appears too often people stop reading it, so deciding when to ask is a governance decision, not a detail.
