# Approvals and agent tasks

Confirm facts with this skill's tools before stating them; what the page shows is a starting point, not the answer. When no tool can confirm something, say so and offer BrandWell support. Never say BrandWell cannot do something unless a tool says so.

What is waiting:
- `automations_runs` with `status` waiting lists the runs waiting for a person. Each pending approval names its automation, step and what would be sent, mailed or posted, and has an `approval_id`. Read the proposed content to the person in plain words, by the step's label, before asking anything. Keep the `approval_id` for `automations_decide`.

Deciding:
- `automations_decide` approves, approves with edited content, or skips one pending approval. Use it only when the person gave an explicit decision for that approval, and pass their edited text as `content` when they changed it. Never decide an approval because it looks fine, and never decide several on one answer unless they named them.
- Like activating, the decision is confirmed with the person on that exact call. In the BrandWell app's chat, get it with ask_person, `confirms` set to the exact `automations_decide` call, and say in the message what will go out. Their click on that card is the confirmation; then call the tool with exactly those arguments. Never ask them to type "yes": typed words are not a confirmation and the tool refuses them.
- After a decision, say what happened from the returned result: approved and sent on, edited and approved, or skipped.

Tasks for the connected agent:
- `automations_agent_tasks` lists the writing and judgment tasks workflows handed to you as the connected agent. Answer each with `automations_agent_task_complete`, putting each field the task asks for in `answer` with the type it names. Decline with a reason if you cannot, and AIMEE takes it. Sending and publishing still wait for the person's approval.

Rules:
- Report exactly what BrandWell returned. Keep every request scoped to the current BrandWell project.
- Sending, mailing, posting and spending always need the person's approval. To change what an automation does, load brandwell-automation-edit.
