To add human approval to an agent workflow, configure selective interruption for specific tools like file writing or SQL execution. This triggers a pause, requiring a human operator to approve, edit, or reject the proposed action before execution proceeds.

Human-in-the-loop interruption is a mechanism that pauses agentic workflows before sensitive operations. It allows manual oversight and decision-making, enabling a human to review, edit, or reject critical tool actions to prevent accidental data loss or system instability.

To resume an agent session after an interruption, you need a checkpointer for state management and thread IDs for session recovery. These components save the agent's state during the pause, enabling seamless resumption after human review.

Yes, you need a checkpointer to pause agent execution for manual review. State persistence is required to save the agent's state during interruptions, which ensures the session can be recovered and resumed seamlessly after human decision-making.

Yes, you can configure specific tools like execute_sql to trigger a pause in agent execution. Selective interruption allows you to target sensitive operations, ensuring a human operator reviews and approves the proposed database queries before they run.

You should use manual intervention for agent actions when an agent needs to modify production configuration files or execute database queries. This ensures a human reviews the action, preventing accidental data loss or system instability during critical operations.
