Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)
Pausing agent execution before sensitive actions to require explicit approval or input from a human operator.
Why it exists
Protects against accidental API calls, financial transactions, database deletions, or unvetted external messages.
How it works
The execution graph enters a suspended state, sends a notification, and waits for a user approve or reject signal.
