An agent's approval queue needs a timeout policy to prevent items from aging indefinitely or being auto-approved without proper review. The policy should define specific default actions based on the reversibility and cost of undoing an action if the default proves incorrect. These defaults include approving low-impact, reversible actions; holding and escalating time-sensitive or financial transactions; canceling actions with expired value; and re-planning actions based on potentially stale data. Setting appropriate timeout durations per action type, rather than a single global SLA, is crucial for effective queue management. AI
