Explicit request
The system can surface what action is proposed, which resources it affects, and why approval is required.
Security / Approvals
Human authority stays human where required.
ILAIOS is being designed so operations that require a human decision can pause at explicit approval gates instead of being silently delegated to autonomous execution.
Approval model
Make consequential consent visible.
Bounded approval
Approval should apply to the requested scope rather than becoming an unlimited authorization for unrelated future actions.
Observable decision
Approved, rejected, expired, or escalated states can remain part of the execution record.
No silent bypass
Required human authority should not disappear because an agent believes the action is useful or low risk.
Authority
Automation should not manufacture consent.
Approval gates preserve the distinction between recommending an action and possessing authority to perform it.
