AskFirst API adds human approval layer for AI agents
What AskFirst does
AskFirst is a REST API that AI agents can call when they need human approval before proceeding with consequential actions. It addresses the common problem where agents running locally or via custom loops decide to take irreversible steps without a checkpoint.
Key features from the source
- Framework compatibility: Works with local models (like OpenClaw), hosted APIs, and any framework
- Approval workflow: Agent calls the API → email notification sent instantly → human clicks Approve or Deny → agent receives answer and continues or stops
- Audit logging: Full log of every decision made through the system
- Pricing: Free tier offers 50 approvals per month
- Website: aiskfirst.com (note: source shows this domain)
Use case
This tool is specifically designed for developers running local agent setups who want to prevent AI agents from taking irreversible actions without human oversight.
