What it is

Held actions waiting for a human yes or no.

Where it fits

Part of Stop risky actions: Make AI agents ask before they delete, pay, email or run anything dangerous. Every CAIN-42 product runs behind the same rule: an AI agent's action is checked before it runs (identity, authority, policy, risk), decided as allow, hold for a human, or block, and recorded as signed evidence. Unknown or error never becomes allow.

Fire a real decision

Send an action through the live CAIN-42 pipeline from this page, with no account, and watch every stage decide. This is the same pipeline every product here sits behind; it runs for a throwaway demo tenant and is rate limited.

For AI engineers

Every product sits behind one decision path: your agent proposes an action with the exact arguments, CAIN runs it through identity, authority, policy, risk, trust and quorum consensus, and answers ALLOW, REQUIRE_APPROVAL or DENY with an Ed25519-signed record. A timeout, outage or unknown verdict never becomes ALLOW. A brand-new agent has no trust history, so its first actions usually come back REQUIRE_APPROVAL.

Tested guarantees in this area

Every rule in these niches has its own page with its recorded result.

• Identity, authority & delegation: 964 tested invariants — Who an agent is, what it may do, and who allowed it.
• Policy, law & governance: 966 tested invariants — The rules agents must follow, and how they are enforced.
• Attacks, threats & containment: 418 tested invariants — What happens when someone attacks: it is caught and contained.
