An AI agent should only ask for human approval when a human can realistically detect and prevent a mistake within a given timeframe, and the action's consequences warrant the interruption. The framework LoopRails proposes a grading system for AI agent actions based on reversibility, blast radius, and stakes, assigning grades from G0 (trivial) to G3 (critical). Most AI agent approval prompts fail due to conflating the need for oversight with the effectiveness of that oversight, leading to issues like the recognition bottleneck and automation bias where humans approve problematic actions despite seeing them.
