Background
Tool approval in AI SDK 7 is defined in the
toolApprovalproperty ofgenerateText,streamText, andToolLoopAgent.Different applications might need different approval strategies for the same tools. It is the responsibility of the agent or app developer, not the tool developer, to define approval strategies. Therefore the tool execution approval mechanism was redesigned in AI SDK 7.
