# oz0 approval approve

> Let a waiting step go ahead.

For: Operators and developers looking up a command.

Let a waiting step go ahead.

The decision is bound to the call's arguments: it names the digest of the arguments it decides on
(--args-sha256, as approval list --json and approval args show it), and the job refuses it when the approval waits
on other arguments. Without the flag, the command reads the approval's digest from approval list first.

With --edit-file, the call is approved with other arguments: the file holds the whole arguments as JSON,
such as the ones approval args shows with your changes. The edge checks them against the function's input schema
and the tenant's tool policy, and refuses an edit the policy would refuse or that makes the call need another
approval; the call is then made with exactly these arguments, and the agent is told which fields you changed.

It
takes the content permission, and a tool may refuse edits (approval.edit: false). --confirm types the value of the
argument a high-risk call asks to be confirmed (approval.confirm).

With --allow-for, later calls of the same agent and function in this job with exactly the same arguments are approved
without asking until the time runs out; a call that differs asks again, and its card names the fields that changed. It is never broader than the job, and never for a call that asks for a typed confirmation.

After approving a call the
tenant's tool policy asked about, the command prints the narrowest rule that would have allowed exactly that call:
a suggestion to review, which changes nothing by itself.

## Usage

oz0 approval approve JOB APPROVAL [flags]
