Approvals Commands

Inspect approval requests raised by the ApprovalGate — Missy's human-in-the-loop confirmation mechanism for sensitive operations.

missy approvals list

List pending approval requests.

missy approvals list

Note

Approval requests only exist for the lifetime of a running missy gateway start process — the ApprovalGate holds pending approvals in memory, not on disk. Running missy approvals list from a separate, short-lived CLI invocation has no gateway session to inspect, so it currently prints an informational message rather than a live list:

No active gateway session; approvals are processed during missy gateway start.

When a tool call triggers an approval request during a gateway run, the channel that raised it (e.g. Discord) receives a message with an approval ID and risk level, and an operator responds with approve <id> or deny <id> within the configured timeout (default 60 seconds). Unanswered requests time out and the action is treated as denied.
