AI agents can now wait for a person without holding a worker. A script, flow or MCP tool can require approval before it runs, and the built-in Ask a question tool lets the agent ask for a choice or missing information, answered from the run page or the chat.
New features
- Turn on Require approval in a tool settings tab: the call waits until someone approves or rejects it, and a rejected call, or one unanswered within 30 minutes, reaches the model as not run.
- The Ask a question tool can offer single or multiple choices, and a free-text answer is always possible.
- While it waits, the agent releases its worker and resumes where it stopped once answered.
