Approval Gate

← All terms · Orbit Tools

Also called Gate, Approval

A required user approval step before a queued prompt executes. Prevents AI from running anything against your codebase without your explicit go-ahead.

What it is

Every prompt in the queue waits at an approval gate before running. You can review the prompt, run an Auto Review or Deep Review for AI evaluation, then click Approve to release it. Settings control whether prompts auto-advance after approval or wait for an additional manual trigger.

When you would use it

Every queued prompt encounters the approval gate. It's the core safety mechanism.

Common operations

  • Reviewing a prompt before letting it run
  • Catching mistakes before they reach the codebase
  • Pausing queued work indefinitely until ready
