approval-gate

The policy and decision surface for human-held function calls (spec). Three surfaces, one worker:

  1. The gate — approval::gate, a pre_trigger hook the worker binds itself at startup on the harness's harness::hook::pre-trigger trigger type. It evaluates per-session mode, allow-lists, and inline config rules, and answers continue, deny, or hold.
  2. The decision plane — approval::resolve plus the per-session settings RPCs (set_mode, add_always_allow, approve_always, …). Human/console only.
  3. The pending inbox — an ephemeral index of held calls (approval::list-pending / approval::get-pending) plus two trigger types (approval::pending-created / approval::pending-resolved) that notification workers and UIs bind to.

The worker keeps no resolved-approval history: a record exists only while a call is held; every record has an explicit deletion path (resolve, turn abort, session delete). The transcript's function_result and the pending_resolved event are the audit trail. Holds do not expire — they wait until a human resolves or the turn/session is purged.

Standalone caveat

This worker codes against the greenfield harness contracts (harness::hook::pre-trigger, harness::function::resolve, harness::turn-completed — see harness.md § Hooks / § API Reference), which are not implemented by the current harness yet. The harness/session trigger bindings are best-effort: on an engine without those trigger types the worker still boots, serves its RPCs, and logs trigger_type_not_found for the absent bindings (restart it after the sibling appears to re-bind). The configuration worker is the one hard dependency — it is enabled by default in the engine, and a failed register/fetch aborts boot. The integration suite exercises the harness surface against in-process fakes until harness 1.0 lands.

Quickstart

cargo build
./target/debug/approval-gate --url ws://127.0.0.1:49134

The authoritative config lives in the engine's configuration worker (no committed config.yaml); pass --config .yaml only to seed the entry on its very first registration.

Hold → decide → release, from any client:

# A held call shows up in the inbox…
iii call approval::list-pending '{}'
# …a human allows it (the harness re-runs it through trigger)…
iii call approval::resolve '{"session_id": "s_1", "function_call_id": "c_1", "decision": "allow"}'
# …or denies it with a reason the model can adapt to.
iii call approval::resolve '{"session_id": "s_1", "function_call_id": "c_1", "decision": "deny", "reason": "not on prod"}'

Permission model

Per-session mode plus two allow-lists, evaluated in this order (ported unchanged from the proven implementation):

  1. approval::* / configuration::* target → deny (human_only_function, even under full — self-escalation defense)
  2. mode full → allow
  3. approved_always hit → allow (every mode — remembered human decisions)
  4. mode auto and always_allow hit → allow (dormant under manual)
  5. fall through to configuration rules (first match wins): allow → allow · deny → deny · no match → hold

When the configuration entry omits rules, the gate denies only this worker's own approval::* surface; every other call holds. On startup the worker seeds/backfills the stored entry so rules are editable in the console.

Custom trigger types

Type Fires Payload
approval::pending-created a call was held and its inbox record written (async, off the hot path) PendingApprovalRecord & { status: "pending" } — redacted args, session context: self-sufficient for notification copy
approval::pending-resolved a pending call left the inbox (exactly once per record) ids + outcome: "allow" | "deny" | "aborted", operator reason on deny

Binding config (both types): { session_id?, metadata? } — metadata is a subset-equality match against the record's denormalized session_metadata, so a multi-tenant notification worker binds to only its own sessions. After a restart, reconcile with one approval::list-pending call.

Configuration

The whole config — runtime wiring and deployment approval defaults — lives in the single engine configuration entry approval-gate (operator-edited via the console's Configuration screen; reactive reload, no polling). There is no committed config.yaml. On first boot the worker seeds the entry with the built-in defaults (including rules) so the editor is pre-filled; existing stored values are never overwritten except to add a missing rules field.

{
  "default_mode": "manual",        // manual | auto | full — sessions with no stored settings
  "rules": [                       // first match wins; no match → hold
    "!approval::*",
    { "function": "state::get", "action": "allow", "modes": ["auto"] }
  ]
}

configuration is a required boot dependency: the worker registers the schema and fetches the authoritative value at startup, and a failed register/fetch aborts boot (the gate must run on a known, authoritative policy surface, never a guessed one). When no value is stored yet the built-in defaults above are seeded and used. Every field hot-reloads on configuration::set — nothing requires a restart.

Agent exposure

Deny all approval::* and configuration::* functions to in-run agents: resolve would let an agent approve its own held calls, and the settings RPCs are self-escalation (the gate's human_only_function rule is the in-depth backstop). list_pending / get_pending are read-only and redacted, but they enumerate held calls across sessions — keep them off agent allow-lists too.

Local development & testing

cargo test                                   # lib suites: pure unit + engine-backed handlers
cargo test --test integration               # engine-backed; self-skips without `iii`
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
./target/debug/approval-gate --manifest      # registry-publish manifest

The integration suite spawns a real engine (III_ENGINE_BIN or iii on PATH) with configuration + iii-state, registers the production surface in-process, and fakes sibling RPCs where noted (session::get). With the harness binary available, tests/harness_integration.rs additionally boots the real harness worker for cross-worker hold / sweep / resolve checks.

Architecture documentation

Deep documentation lives in architecture/: internals.md for maintainers (evaluation order, the emit-gate deletion mechanics, lazy seeding, engine facts the code depends on) and integration.md for consumers (the full function/trigger contract, the harness handoff, deployment notes, what not to do).
