✅ Bonanza Approve

Human-in-the-loop approval gateway for AI agents — queue sensitive actions, notify humans, collect decisions

PyPI Python License

AI agents need guardrails. But not everything should be blocked — some actions just need human review. Bonanza Approve gives you a simple approval queue with Telegram, Slack, email, and webhook notifications.

Why?

AI agents can do a lot, but some actions are too sensitive to automate:

  • Payments over a threshold
  • File deletions in production
  • API calls to expensive services
  • Data exports with PII

Bonanza Approve queues these actions and notifies a human for review.

Installation

pip install bonanza-approve

With Telegram notifications:

pip install bonanza-approve[telegram]

Quick Start

from bonanza_approve import ApprovalGateway

# Create a gateway with auto-approve for low-risk, auto-reject for high-risk
gw = ApprovalGateway(
    name="my-agent",
    auto_approve_below=0.2,   # Auto-approve risk < 0.2
    auto_reject_above=0.8,    # Auto-reject risk > 0.8
)

# Request approval for a payment
request = gw.request_approval(
    action="payment",
    description="Pay $5.00 for weather API data",
    amount_usd=5.00,
    vendor="api.weather.com",
    risk_score=0.3,           # Between 0.2 and 0.8 → needs human review
)
# Output:
# 🔔 Approval Request: payment
#    ID: abc-123-def
#    Description: Pay $5.00 for weather API data
#    Amount: $5.00
#    Vendor: api.weather.com
#    Risk: low (0.30)
#    Status: pending

# Human approves via Telegram/Slack/webhook:
decision = gw.approve(request.request_id, decided_by="admin")
print(decision.status)  # ApprovalStatus.APPROVED

# Or rejects:
decision = gw.reject(request.request_id, decided_by="admin", reason="Too expensive")

Features

🤖 Auto-Approval Rules

gw = ApprovalGateway(
    auto_approve_below=0.2,  # Risk < 0.2 → auto-approve
    auto_reject_above=0.8,   # Risk > 0.8 → auto-reject
)
# Everything in between → queued for human review

🔔 Multi-Channel Notifications

# Console (default)
gw = ApprovalGateway(notification_channel=NotificationChannel.CONSOLE)

# Custom handler (Telegram, Slack, email, etc.)
def send_to_telegram(request):
    bot.send_message(chat_id, f"🔔 Approval needed: {request.description}")

gw = ApprovalGateway(notification_handler=send_to_telegram)

📋 Full Approval Workflow

# Request → Notify → Approve/Reject → Callback

# 1. Request
request = gw.request_approval(action="payment", description="Pay $5", amount_usd=5.00, risk_score=0.3)

# 2. Notify (automatic via notification_handler)

# 3. Approve or reject
decision = gw.approve(request.request_id, decided_by="admin", reason="Looks safe")
# OR
decision = gw.reject(request.request_id, decided_by="admin", reason="Over budget")

# 4. Get stats
print(gw.stats())
# {"total": 1, "pending": 0, "approved": 1, "rejected": 0, "total_approved_usd": 5.00}

💾 Persistent Storage

# In-memory (default, for testing)
from bonanza_approve import MemoryStore
gw = ApprovalGateway(store=MemoryStore())

# File-based (for production)
from bonanza_approve import FileStore
gw = ApprovalGateway(store=FileStore("~/.bonanza/approvals"))

📊 Statistics

stats = gw.stats()
# {
#   "total": 15,
#   "pending": 2,
#   "approved": 10,
#   "rejected": 3,
#   "total_approved_usd": 42.50,
#   "total_rejected_usd": 150.00,
#   "approval_rate": 76.9
# }

🎯 Event Callbacks

# Register callbacks for events
gw.on("approve", lambda d: process_payment(d))
gw.on("reject", lambda d: cancel_payment(d))
gw.on("request", lambda r: send_notification(r))
