Approvals

The approval system lets agents propose changes that require human sign-off before being applied. Safety layer between “agent wants to do X” and “X is live.”

Tools

Tool	Description
wp_list_approvals	List requests, filter by status
wp_get_approval	Get details and diff for one request
wp_approve_request	Approve a pending request
wp_reject_request	Reject
wp_apply_approval	Apply an approved change
wp_rollback_approval	Roll back an applied change

Statuses

Status	Meaning
pending	Waiting for review
approved	Approved, not yet applied
rejected	Will not be applied
applied	Live on the site
rolled_back	Reverted

Example flow

// Agent creates a request, returns:
// {"approval_id": "apr_abc123", "status": "pending"}

// Review it
// wp_get_approval → {"id": "apr_abc123"}
// Returns: proposed change, before/after diff, affected content

// Approve
// wp_approve_request → {"id": "apr_abc123", "notes": "Looks good"}

// Apply
// wp_apply_approval → {"id": "apr_abc123"}

// Rollback if needed
// wp_rollback_approval → {"id": "apr_abc123"}

What triggers approvals

• Staging → live pushes (wp_push_to_live always creates one)
• SEO autofix plan execution
• Any content marked as requiring approval in plugin settings

Admin UI

WP Admin → MCPWP → Control Room shows all pending requests with diffs, notes, and rollback history.
