# Approvals

> The queue where drafts and tool actions wait for your yes.

## What the approvals queue is

The approvals queue is where your AI employee's proposed work waits for a human. Nothing sensitive leaves Jobr without passing through here, unless a channel is explicitly set to auto.

You will find it on the **approvals** tab of each employee, and surfaced on your [dashboard](/app/dashboard).

## What you can do with each item

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Approve" icon="circle-check">
    Send the reply or execute the tool action as proposed.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Edit" icon="pen">
    Adjust the draft or the action before it goes out.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Reject" icon="circle-xmark">
    Stop it. Nothing happens.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Reading a tool action

When the item is a tool action, the queue shows you the parameters as a readable list, with a **risk chip** telling you whether it is a read, write, or money action.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Read">
    The action only looks something up. Lowest risk.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Write">
    The action changes data in a connected tool, such as updating a contact.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Money">
    The action touches money, such as creating a draft invoice. Highest care.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Warning>
  A plain member cannot approve write or money actions. Only the owner, or a builder operating the company, can approve those.
</Warning>

## Approvals and your action count

A tool action counts as 2 metered actions: 1 when the AI proposes it, and 1 when you approve and it executes. See [Actions and usage](/concepts/actions-and-usage).
