Definition
Set your approval threshold to match your risk tolerance. $50 means every transaction over $50 goes to human review. $500 means only large purchases get flagged. Teams typically start at $100 and adjust based on agent reliability over time.
Why It Matters
Without proper approval threshold controls, autonomous agents can accumulate significant unexpected costs. sipi.bot automates approval threshold enforcement so you deploy agents with confidence.
