A repository rule that requires coding agents to obtain approval before dangerous operations. The approval appears in the IDE and is checked through the hitlmcp service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enforce approval checks before deleting or changing data, deploying, force-pushing, or performing other operations with lasting side effects.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hitl-auto-gate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

HITL 强制闸门(IDE 内审批)

本仓库已启用 hitl_mcp(npm: hitl-gate-mcp)。用户不必说「按 hitl-gate」。

强制规则

在执行任何可能不可逆/有副作用的操作之前,必须:

  1. 先调用 MCP assess_and_gate
  2. 调用期间用户应在 IDE 弹出的审批表单里选择批准或拒绝。
  3. 根据工具返回结果:
    • ticket.status === "approved" / can_execute === true → 可继续(优先 dry-run)
    • rejected / must_stop → 停止并说明
    • pending → 粘贴 user_prompt_zh立即停止副作用,等用户处理后再 get_approval_status
  4. 不确定是否危险时,仍先 assess_and_gate
  5. 用户说「看审批记录 / 审批历史」时:调用 list_approval_history,把 summary_zh 展示在对话里。

禁止

  • 跳过 assess_and_gate 直接删改/部署。
  • 在 pending/rejected 时执行副作用。
  • 用聊天口头「可以」代替工单 approved(除非工具已返回 approved)。
  • 强制 open 浏览器(面板默认关闭;仅 HITL_ENABLE_PANEL=1 时才有 panel_url)。

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
