# Tool Confirmation Sample ## Overview This sample demonstrates how to use the Tool Confirmation feature in ADK to implement Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) flows. It shows how a tool can dynamically request confirmation from the user before proceeding with a sensitive action (e.g., transferring funds). ## Sample Inputs - `Transfer $50 to Alice` - `Transfer $200 to Bob` - `Close account ACC123` - `Transfer $500 to Charlie and close account ACC123` *This will cause parallel tools being called in a single step* ## How To ### 1. Requesting Confirmation In your tool function, you can access the `ToolContext` and check if `tool_confirmation` is present. If not, you can call `tool_context.request_confirmation()` to request approval from the user. ```python def transfer_funds(amount: float, recipient: str, tool_context: ToolContext): # Only request confirmation for amounts >= 100 if amount >= 100: if not tool_context.tool_confirmation: tool_context.request_confirmation( hint=f"Confirm transfer of ${amount} to {recipient}.", ) return {"error": "This tool call requires confirmation, please approve or reject."} ``` ### 2. Handling the Response When the user responds to the confirmation request, the tool will be called again. This time, `tool_context.tool_confirmation` will be populated with the user's decision (`confirmed` boolean). ```python elif not tool_context.tool_confirmation.confirmed: return {"error": "Transfer rejected by user."} return {"result": f"Successfully transferred ${amount} to {recipient}."} ``` ### 3. Using `FunctionTool` for Automatic Confirmation Alternatively, you can specify that a tool always requires confirmation by wrapping it in a `FunctionTool` and setting `require_confirmation=True` when defining the agent's tools. In this case, the runner will automatically handle the confirmation request before calling your function. ```python from google.adk.tools.function_tool import FunctionTool def close_account(account_id: str, tool_context: ToolContext): # This code only runs if the user approves the confirmation return {"result": f"Account {account_id} closed."} root_agent = Agent( ... tools=[ FunctionTool(func=close_account, require_confirmation=True), ], ) ```
