AgentAction

Agents act. You decide.

An AI assistant can do real things for you: send an email, book an appointment, move money. For the ones that matter, it should have to ask you first. That is what this app is for.

When the assistant wants to do something that needs your say-so, the request appears here and your phone buzzes. You see exactly what it wants to do, then approve or refuse it. Nothing happens until you do, and if you refuse, nothing happens at all.

ALREADY BEEN SENT A PAIRING CODE?

Install this app, scan the code, and you are done. Everything below is for the person setting the assistant up.

SETTING IT UP YOURSELF

1. Go to agentaction.online and sign up. It is free.
2. Connect the apps your assistant uses, such as Gmail or Google Calendar. More are being added.
3. Open Approvals and register this phone by scanning the code shown there.
4. Choose which actions are risky enough to need your approval. Everything else keeps running untouched.
5. Open MCP Access, create a token, and give it to your assistant.

From then on, the actions you marked come to your phone before they happen.

HOW YOU KNOW A REQUEST IS REAL

• Every request shows a four-digit code, and the assistant was given the same one. If the code you are told does not match the code on screen, refuse it.
• Approving needs Face ID, your fingerprint or your passcode, every time. Nobody can approve in your name, not even someone holding your unlocked phone.
• What the assistant wants to do is shown as plain text, exactly as it wrote it. It cannot make anything bold, hide anything, or dress a request up to look official.
• A request expires. If you do nothing, nothing happens: the assistant is refused by default, not allowed by default.

WHAT THIS APP CAN SEE

Only what you are asked to approve. It cannot read your messages, your files or anything else on this phone. There is no account to create here, no sign-up and no tracking, and your approval key never leaves this phone. The camera is used once, to read a pairing code; nothing is photographed or kept.

WHERE THE REQUESTS COME FROM

From whoever set up the assistant: your company, or a service you use. You pair this phone with them once, and you can unpair at any time. You can be paired with more than one.

AgentAction is open source, and you can run the whole thing on your own servers. Details at agentaction.online.
