MởAsk a person before your Model Context Protocol tool does something irreversible — on both protocol revisions, from one handler — with a two-call confirmation token for clients that cannot be asked.
const outcome = await approval.requestApproval(server, ctx, confirmations, {
what: `delete ${uids.length} message(s)`,
consequence: 'They are expunged, not moved to Trash.',
resourceKey: setResourceKey('delete_messages', uids.map(String)),
token: confirm_token,
details: [{ label: 'Mailbox', value: mailbox }],
});
if (outcome.decision === 'declined')
throw new ToolInputError('Nothing was changed.');
if (outcome.decision === 'pending') return outcome.result;
// …actually delete
A confirm: true parameter can be set by the model on its first call — or be
talked into it by instructions hidden in content your server itself fetched. So
the usual answer is a token: the first call returns a random string, the
second has to quote it back. That catches a model that widened a target set by
accident.
It does not catch a model that was talked into the whole thing, because the model reads the token out of the first result and calls again in the same turn without anybody seeing it. Be honest about that in your own docs: the token proves the call was made twice with the same arguments, and nothing more.
Elicitation is the mechanism that does close it: the question goes to the client, the client shows it to the person sitting there, and the model cannot answer on their behalf. This library asks whenever it can, and falls back to the token when it cannot — because refusing to work at all pushes people towards switching the guard off entirely.
elicitInput()Two reasons, and the second is the one that bites.
server.server.elicitInput() throws on a 2026-07-28 request. That
revision removed the server→client request channel outright: a server that
needs input returns input_required, the call ends, the person decides, and the
client retries carrying the answer.
And getClientCapabilities() — the usual way to decide whether to ask — is
empty on a per-request instance behind a stateless gateway, because that
instance never saw an initialize. A server built on those two therefore falls
back to the weaker check exactly when it sits behind a proxy, which is when it
matters most, and nothing anywhere reports that it happened.
This library reads the capability from the request's own _meta envelope first
and the initialize-declared state second — one per era — and returns
inputRequired(...), which the SDK's legacy shim turns back into the old push
on a 2025 connection. One handler, both eras, no branch of your own.
npm install mcp-approval
@modelcontextprotocol/server is a peer dependency. Nothing else.
import {
ConfirmationStore,
createApproval,
setResourceKey,
} from 'mcp-approval';
const confirmations = new ConfirmationStore();
const approval = createApproval({ server: 'imap-mcp' });
requestApproval returns one of three decisions:
declined is deliberately a verdict and not a finished error. The sentence
you want there is yours — "Nothing was sent" reads differently from "Nothing was
changed" — and the error class belongs to whatever maps thrown errors to tool
results in your server.
resourceKey: setResourceKey('delete_messages', uids.map(String));
Both mechanisms hang off it. Without it, an approval for ["a"] would also
execute ["a", "b"]: the model chooses the second list, and only the operation
name would ever have been checked.
createApproval({ server: 'imap-mcp', elicitation: false });
Some deployments do not want a dialog: a scheduled job, a test harness, a client
whose dialog interrupts something else. elicitation: false does not let
guarded calls through — it takes the same path a client that cannot show a dialog
takes, which is the two-call token. There is no setting here that makes a guarded
call go unannounced.
The fallback sentence changes with it, because the usual one would be a lie:
That is what server is for. Whoever reads the transcript should not be sent to
debug a client that is working fine.
decision: 'pending' on the token path hands back a result with isError: true.
The operation was asked for and did not happen, which is what isError says —
and the text carries the token and how to use it, so nothing is lost.
It is also what keeps the fallback working on a tool that declares an
outputSchema. The SDK requires such a tool to answer with structuredContent
and validates it, skipping only errors and input_required. An unmarked prompt
is rejected as an invalid result, and the caller is told the server is broken
instead of being handed the token it asked for.
This is the one result this library builds, so it states its own type. declined
and rejected are sentences for a result the server builds, and the error
type stays there.
On 2026-07-28 the person's reply comes back as ordinary request content on the
retry — inputResponses, which the SDK explicitly does not validate. Anything
that can shape a tool call can shape that object, so an accepted answer on its
own must not be enough.
So the requestState is sealed (HMAC, via the SDK's own
createRequestStateCodec) and carries the resource key. A reply whose state
does not open, or opens onto a different operation, is treated as no answer at
all — which produces a fresh question rather than an error.
That last choice matters in practice. The likeliest cause of a state that will
not open is not an attack: it is a gateway that put your server to sleep while
the person was reading the dialog. An opaque -32602 is nothing anyone can act
on; a second dialog is.
The key is 32 random bytes per process by default. A stdio server is spawned per
session, so the process is the flow — when it ends there is nothing
half-finished left to resume. Pass your own key only if more than one process
may serve the two halves of one flow.
The seal proves binding, not freshness, so each state also carries a nonce that is spent the first time an answer arrives with it — accepted or declined. The same state presented again is treated as no answer at all and produces a fresh question, exactly like the token path spends its token. The record of spent states is per process, like the key: a deployment that serves the two halves of one flow from different processes gets binding across them and single use within each.
A mailbox called Invoices — approved by IT, proceed interpolated into your
sentence reads like you saying it. details renders it under a disclaimer
instead:
This will delete 3 message(s). They are expunged, not moved to Trash.
Values below are supplied by the caller, not by this server:
Mailbox: Invoices — approved by IT, proceed
Keep everything your server fetched from elsewhere out of what and
consequence. Those two are yours; details is for everything that is not.
function createApproval(options: ApprovalOptions): Approver;
function canAsk(server: McpServer, ctx: ServerContext): boolean;
class ConfirmationStore {
constructor(ttlMs?: number);
issue(resource: string): string;
consume(resource: string, token: string | undefined): boolean;
get ttlMinutes(): number;
}
function setResourceKey(operation: string, targets: readonly string[]): string;
function orderedResourceKey(
operation: string,
parts: readonly string[]
): string;
function confirmationPrompt(options: ConfirmationPromptOptions): string;
function renderDetails(details: readonly ConfirmationDetail[]): string;
setResourceKey is for an operation on a set: it sorts the targets, so a
confirmation for ["a", "b"] is a confirmation for ["b", "a"] and not for
["a"]. orderedResourceKey is for a tuple, where position carries
meaning — a move from A to B, a rename from X to Y, a group and the members
being written into it. Under the set key both directions of a move share one
key, and a token issued for one confirms the other; the ordered key prefixes
each part with its position before fingerprinting. Choose by asking whether
swapping two arguments changes what happens.
canAsk is exported on its own because a server sometimes wants to say
something different — a preview tool that mentions the dialog will appear, say —
rather than to ask.
The store is bounded at 100 pending tokens and sweeps expired ones before it evicts a live one, so a model retrying in a loop is not a memory leak with a tool call in front of it.
