Open-source server to require human approval before agents take action

A self-hosted tool lets you add a human approval step into any AI agent or automation before it carries out important actions. It keeps sensitive decisions on your own server rather than a third-party cloud service.

AI agents can act autonomously — sending emails, deleting files, making API calls — and mistakes can be hard or impossible to undo. This tool acts as a checkpoint: the agent pauses, asks a human for a go/no-go decision, and only proceeds once approved.

Because it is self-hosted, all approval requests and responses stay on your own infrastructure, which matters for privacy or compliance-sensitive workflows. It slots into existing automation pipelines without requiring a full redesign, letting you keep most steps automatic while adding human oversight exactly where the stakes are high.

Key points

  • Insert a human approval gate at any point in an agent's workflow
  • Runs on your own server — no data sent to external services
  • Prevents irreversible mistakes like accidental deletions or unintended payments
  • Works with existing automations without rebuilding from scratch
  • Open-source and free to use and customize
