Trust, But Verify: Human-in-the-Loop for Agents That Actually Matter
summary
Maps human-in-the-loop patterns to concrete mechanisms: lightweight inline confirmations for seat or preference questions, token vault and OBO for long‑lived API access and refresh, client‑initiated back‑channel authentication (SIBA) and push notifications for out‑of‑band approvals, and payment flow details—virtual cards vs shared payment token (SPT), MPPP vs X42—plus required fields (seller ID, item‑potency, expiry ~10 minutes) and the critical max spend ceiling that prevents surprise charges.
