FAQPage Schema
How do I prompt for user confirmation from an AI agent using native macOS dialogs?▼

Native macOS dialogs enable AI agents to collect user confirmation by invoking AppleScript through osascript-backed scripts. This approach uses system UI components instead of chat-based prompting to securely gate destructive actions or require acknowledgment.

Can I collect text input and multiple choice selections with AppleScript dialogs?▼

AppleScript dialogs support both open-ended text input for configuration values and multiple choice selections for branching decisions. AI agents use these dialog prompts to gather missing details or guide users through predefined options.

Does this native dialog approach work for sending non-blocking macOS system notifications?▼

Native macOS system notifications inform users non-blockingly about completed work or important status updates. AI agents trigger these notifications via osascript to alert users without halting ongoing background processes.

What are the limitations of using osascript for AI agent user confirmation?▼

Osascript limitations include relying on return tokens like CANCELLED and TIMEOUT for handling user responses alongside basic input validation. This approach requires macOS environments with AppleScript support to function properly.

When should I use native macOS dialogs instead of chat-based prompts for AI agent interactions?▼

Native macOS dialogs provide trustworthy user input for safe gating of destructive actions, preference selection, or user acknowledgment. Use this approach when you need direct system-level UI prompts rather than chat-based interfaces.
