Request Approval Skill

Use Preloop's request_approval MCP tool to get human approval before executing risky operations. Preloop will notify the user (via Slack, email, mobile apps, etc.) and wait for their response.

Setup

Preloop must be configured as an MCP server. See references/SETUP.md for configuration details.

When to Request Approval

ALWAYS Request Approval For:

• Deleting anything (files, directories, database records, cloud resources)
• Production changes (deployments, config changes, environment variables)
• Database operations (schema changes, migrations, bulk deletions/updates)
• External modifications (creating/merging PRs, posting to APIs, sending emails)
• Security changes (permissions, access controls, API keys)
• Financial operations (purchases, charges, refunds)
• System modifications (installing packages, changing system settings, CI/CD changes)
