# confirm_action

Runs a generated DELETE operation that another tool staged and returned as status: "approval_required" with a summary and a one-time approval token. Intended for use after the user approves that summary. A token that is never confirmed expires after 5 minutes, and the staged action does not run. The token is bound to the authenticated caller and must match exactly. An attempted confirmation consumes it even if the caller differs or execution fails. Creates and updates are not staged by the current tool registry.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "confirm_action",
    "arguments": {
      "token": "<token>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why confirm_action is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call confirm_action doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Doit is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (token)

## Use case

AI agents call confirm_action to permanently remove resources in Doit, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Doit:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "confirm_action"
  ]
}
```
