Wraps our internal owner-gate (og) as a customer-facing API: an AI agent
or workflow files a request, a human owner signs it off, then (and only then) the
action executes — with a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail on every step.
Built for regulated-industry workflows: AML SAR triage, KYC review, claim-denial
appeal, or any agentic action that legally needs a human sign-off first.
Three-step flow,
matches our internal og request / og grant / og exec
CLI 1:1. No AI or service identity can self-approve — grant requires the owner's
sealed passphrase, by design.
Every request, grant and execution is appended to a hash-chained JSONL log — the same log our own fleet governance runs on (9,000+ real records).
POST /api/v1/gate/requests,
POST .../grant (owner-token gated), POST .../exec. No SDK.
This calls the real backend below — requests are genuinely filed against
our owner-gate in a sandboxed demo namespace (empire_access_test:*, kept
isolated from real fleet grants), and will show up as PENDING_OWNER_SIGN until a
human signs off.
Who can approve a gated action?
Only the owner, with a sealed passphrase — no AI or service identity can self-approve, by design.
What does the audit log capture?
Every request, grant and execution, appended to a hash-chained JSONL log — the same log our own fleet governance runs on (9,000+ real records).
What does Approval Gate cost?
It's bundled into the paid access tiers: Solo $99/mo, Team $499/mo, Enterprise from $2,500/mo — all flat per organization, no seat metering.
Is there a live demo?
Yes — the "Try it live" form above files a real request against a sandboxed demo namespace, isolated from real fleet grants.
What kind of workflows is this built for?
Regulated-industry agentic actions that legally need a human sign-off first: AML SAR triage, KYC review, claim-denial appeal, git.push/payments/content.publish/dns.write gates.
Available nationwide — a hosted API any team can point their agents at, serving customers worldwide.
How the Approval Gate works: request, sign, execute
Approval Gate is used across the Elite AI Empire umbrella for privileged actions on TradeHouse and BrandRank. See our docs for the forwardAuth setup.
