# Approving Stella's Actions

> Review, approve, or reject the actions Stella proposes — right inside the chat — before they run.

When Stella wants to take an action that needs a human's sign-off — for example, creating a Jira ticket, sending an email, or another tool that's marked approval-required — it doesn't just run it. Instead, it shows an **approval card** inline in the chat so you can review exactly what it intends to do and decide.

## What you'll see

When Stella pauses for approval, a card appears in the conversation:

* **"Stella wants to run a tool that needs your approval"** (or **"Stella wants to run *N* tools that need your approval"** when several are bundled together).
* Each proposed action shows what Stella intends to do and the details it will use, so nothing runs sight-unseen.

## Approving or rejecting

* Click **Approve** to let the action run (the button shows **Approving…** while it works). Stella carries on with the result.
* Click **Reject** to decline it (**Rejecting…** while it processes). Stella won't run it and continues without it.
* When several actions are bundled in one card, you can act on them individually.
* If an action needs a detail filled in first, Stella prompts **"Fix the highlighted fields before approving."** — complete the highlighted fields, then approve.

Once you decide, the card updates to confirm **"You approved the tool call(s)"** or **"You rejected the tool call(s)"**, so there's a clear record of what you allowed.

<Tip>
  Nothing approval-required happens until you approve it — you're always in control of actions that send, create, or change data.
