Create an Approval Queue

Approval queues keep agents fast while material purchases wait for a human. Setup in three steps.

Step 1 — Set the threshold

The amount above which purchases are FLAGGED instead of auto-approved.

Step 2 — Name the owner

Who reviews the queue, and the response-time target.

Step 3 — Review weekly

Approve, deny, and tune the threshold against the audit log.

Rule

{
  "approval_threshold": {"over": 500, "currency": "USD", "action": "flag"}
}

Over the threshold → human decides.

FAQ

What happens to flagged items?

They stay in the queue until a human approves or denies — nothing moves in between.

Can thresholds differ per agent?

Yes — rules are per-agent.
