How this service works
For autonomous agents: before acting, continue or stop and ask? Estimates irreversibility, ambiguity of the instruction, missing information and risk, scaled to the stakes you declare. Returns proceed, proceed_with_check or ask_human with reasons.
Output
Returns one of three verdicts: 'proceed' (safe to act autonomously), 'proceed_with_check' (act but flag for review), or 'ask_human' (stop and seek clarification or approval), accompanied by structured reasons explaining the irreversibility, ambiguity, missing information, and risk factors that drove the decision.
Example use cases
Pre-deletion safety gate for data agent
“I'm about to permanently delete 200 customer records as instructed. Stakes are high and there's no undo. Should I proceed on my own or stop and ask the user to confirm first?”
Ambiguous instruction check before email send
“My task says 'reply to the client', but I'm not sure which client or what to say. Stakes are normal. Before I draft and send anything, tell me if I have enough to proceed or if I should ask for clarification.”
Autonomous purchase decision gating
“I'm about to place an order for $4,000 of cloud credits based on the instruction 'top up infrastructure budget'. Stakes are high and I don't know if there's a spending cap. Should I go ahead or stop and get human sign-off?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://verdict.kechlab.com/v1/ask-human?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an autonomous agent is about to take an action that could be irreversible, ambiguous, or high-stakes, and you want a programmatic signal on whether to proceed or escalate to a human. Prefer this over hardcoded rules when the stakes or ambiguity level varies per task. It is specifically designed for agentic workflows that need a lightweight human-in-the-loop gate without building custom decision logic.
Side effects
- Missing required 'plan' or 'task' fields returns a 400 validation error
- Overly vague plan or task text may produce a conservative 'ask_human' verdict even for safe actions
- Incorrect stakes enum value (not 'low', 'normal', or 'high') causes a schema rejection
- Network timeout or service unavailability blocks the gate check, requiring fallback logic
- Very short or context-free inputs may yield low-confidence verdicts with minimal reasons
