A confirmation step that asks a user to approve or reject a significant action before it happens. It can present standard or custom response choices and passes the answer to the workflow.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

confirm-action 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 11d 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

Confirm Action Skill

Ask the user a confirmation question before proceeding with a significant action.

Inputs

  • QUESTION_TEXT - The specific question to ask (e.g., "Isolate endpoint WORKSTATION-01?", "Proceed with account disable for jsmith?")
  • (Optional) RESPONSE_OPTIONS - Predefined options for the user:
    • Default: ["Yes", "No"]
    • Custom examples: ["Disable Account", "Reset Password", "Monitor Only"]

Workflow

Step 1: Present Question

Display the question to the user with available options.

Step 2: Wait for Response

Collect the user's selection or custom input.

Step 3: Return Response

Provide the response back to the calling workflow for decision branching.

Outputs

Output Description
USER_RESPONSE The user's answer to the confirmation question

When to Use

Always confirm before:

  • Isolating/quarantining endpoints
  • Disabling user accounts
  • Blocking IPs/domains at firewall
  • Terminating processes
  • Deleting files
  • Escalating to incident response
  • Closing cases as false positive (for high-severity alerts)

May skip confirmation for:

  • Adding comments to cases
  • Running enrichment queries
  • Generating reports
  • Read-only operations

Example Confirmations

Containment:

Question: "Isolate endpoint WORKSTATION-01 from the network?"
Options: ["Yes - Isolate", "No - Continue Monitoring", "Escalate First"]

Account Action:

Question: "User jsmith shows signs of compromise. What action?"
Options: ["Disable Account", "Force Password Reset", "Monitor Only", "Escalate to IR"]

Case Closure:

Question: "Close case 1234 as False Positive?"
Options: ["Yes - Close FP", "No - Keep Open", "Escalate to Tier 2"]

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.
