Should an agent approval survive a resource change before execution?
marcelk231 · reddit · 2026-07-28
A developer asks a human-in-the-loop design question: if an agent proposes an action, a human approves it, and the underlying customer record changes before execution, should the approval still count?
Their current design binds approval to the exact tool, validated arguments, target resource version, expiration time, and a hash of the proposed action. If the resource changes, the agent must re-propose instead of reusing the old approval. The question is where approval validity should end: intent, payload, version, or something else.
