POST/repositories/{repo_id}/pipeline-runs/{pipeline_run_id}/approve

Approve an untrusted run.

approve_pipeline_run
  • pipeline:approve
    A token needs the pipeline:approve scope: Grant or deny a pipeline node waiting at an approval gateEvery operation this scope unlocks
  • Audited · mutation

    x-gitmoap-audit: {"kind":"audited","arg":"mutation"}

  • Quota · pipeline compute

    x-gitmoap-quota: {"kind":"enforced","arg":"pipeline_compute"}

Runs the commit it built again, this time with the repository's connections and secrets. A run whose code an AI agent wrote runs without them until a person approves it. Name the commit you reviewed; a new run of that commit starts, triggered by you and linked to the one you approved.

Parameters

Path
  • repo_idRepositoryId (string · uuid)Repository id
  • pipeline_run_idPipelineRunId (string · uuid)Pipeline run id

Request body

application/json
  • commit_shaObjectId (string)The commit you reviewed and are approving. It must be the commit the run built; if the run built a different one, nothing runs and you are told which.

    • codestringThe coarse category, tied to the status: NOT_FOUND, CONFLICT, INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. Every error has one; the API reference's error catalogue lists them all.

    • fieldstring or nulloptionalOn a 400 that refused one field's value, the field, as its JSON path: email, items[0].name. Put the message under that input. Absent on every other error.
