## MCP tools (2)

### `check_action` (~261 tokens)

Check an action against the consent policy

Check whether an action is permitted by the ConsentGate owner's consent policy BEFORE you perform it. Call this for any potentially sensitive, irreversible, or high-impact action — e.g. sending email or messages, posting publicly, spending money, deleting or overwriting files, calling external/destructive APIs, or changing system state. Returns a decision: "allow" (you may proceed), "deny" (do NOT proceed), or "ask" (no rule matched — not approval; use request_approval to get a human decision, or ask the user). This call does not block. FAIL CLOSED: if the result is anything other than "allow", do not perform the action.

Input parameters:

- `action` (string, required): The specific action you intend to take, e.g. "send_email", "delete_file", "transfer_funds".
- `category` (string, required): Action category. Built-in categories: email, social_post, message, file_write, file_delete, api_call, spending, calendar, system, custom. Any short label (<=50 chars) is accepted.
- `metadata` (object): Structured details of the action (e.g. recipient, amount, path, url). Used by the owner's rules and shown in any approval prompt. Max 10KB.

### `request_approval` (~256 tokens)

Request explicit human approval (blocks)

Request a human's explicit approval for an action and BLOCK until they decide or the timeout elapses. Use for high-stakes actions, or whenever check_action returned "ask". The owner gets an Approve/Deny prompt on Telegram. Returns "allow" ONLY if a human tapped Approve. Returns "deny" on tap-deny, on timeout (fail-closed), or when interactive approvals are unavailable (owner not on Pro, or Telegram not linked — see upgrade_required / telegram_linked). NEVER treat a non-"allow" result as permission.

Input parameters:

- `action` (string, required): The specific action requiring approval, e.g. "send_email", "transfer_funds".
- `category` (string, required): Action category. Built-in categories: email, social_post, message, file_write, file_delete, api_call, spending, calendar, system, custom. Any short label (<=50 chars) is accepted.
- `metadata` (object): Structured details shown to the human in the approval prompt (e.g. recipient, amount, summary). Max 10KB.
- `wait_seconds` (integer): How long to block waiting for the human's tap (1-120s). On timeout the result fails closed to "deny".
