5. Review plans and change course

A plan groups the operations the agent proposes. Automatic plans show what is running. Plans that need approval wait for your decision.

A live low-risk operation waiting for Execute Plan

This DNS-flush proposal was captured for review and then declined. It was not executed.

  1. Read the objective and every proposed step.
  2. Expand a step to understand its operation and target.
  3. Use Why this tool? for the selection rationale.
  4. Use View execution details to inspect source and arguments when available.
  5. Check the steps you want to approve and uncheck those you want to omit.
  6. Select Execute Plan only after reviewing the selected steps and any warning acknowledgement.

If any operation in a proposed batch requires approval, the whole batch waits. Being in an administrator session does not remove this approval requirement. A disconnected device cannot execute a pending plan.

You can also respond in ordinary language:

Your response Expected effect
“No, skip that and investigate DNS instead.” Declines the proposed approach and introduces the replacement work
“No” or “try something else” Declines the approach; the agent asks for or develops another direction
“Yes” or “proceed” for an ordinary pending plan Can approve the current proposal; review which proposal your reply addresses
A question in Ask mode Explains the issue without approving or consuming the pending plan
A new device-work request Puts unfinished work on hold while the new task is handled
“Continue” when work is on hold Resumes the unfinished work when it remains available

Ordinary plan cards do not need a separate Reject button: plain-language feedback or submitting no selected steps can reject the approach. Generated-code cards offer Cancel and a review modal with Don't run.

A pending step's tool-selection rationale

Why this tool? expands the selection rationale. It is an explanation of the choice, not independent proof that the operation is needed.

High-risk warning cards have an additional rule. If a software or driver card requires a warning acknowledgement, you must tick that card's acknowledgement. A typed “yes” does not supply it. Review the measured file, device, publisher, and warning details before approving.

Stopping a turn cancels further agent processing as far as the host can stop it. It does not roll back completed actions, and it does not guarantee that an already-dispatched native script or installer has stopped. Inspect its eventual result before repeating it.
