Approval Rules MCP server

• check_actionFree

  Before a consequential action, ask whether the user's rules auto-approve it. Returns auto_approve, needs_approval (with a plain-English approval card and a link the user can tap) or deny. Free plan is watch-only: it reports what it WOULD decide and logs it for the weekly report, but nothing counts as approved, so ask your user as you normally would.

• get_decisionFree

  Check whether the user approved or rejected an approval card (by card_id and card_token). Only act when status is approved.

• get_rulesFree

  Show the rules in effect for your key (or the default starter rules).

• set_rulesFree

  Save the user's rules (needs an API key so they stay yours). Each rule: {name, when:{type:[...], max_usd, min_usd, reversible, target_ends_with:[...]}, verdict:"auto"|"ask"|"deny"}. First matching rule wins; anything unmatched needs approval. Call once without confirm to preview, then with confirm=true.

• usage_and_upgradeFree

  Show today's usage for your key or IP and the $49/month All Access upgrade link (cloudforbots.com/offer). Free tier: 200 calls/day. Not metered.

• weekly_reportFree

  Draft a plain-English report of the last 7 days: actions checked, how many your rules would auto-approve, how many needed you, top kinds of asks, and rule suggestions. Read-only; sends nothing.
