Deny a tool call

PUT/v1/objectives/{objectiveId}/tool_calls/{toolCallId}/deny

When an agent attempts to use a tool that requires approval, use this endpoint to mark it as denied. Use a memo to steer the LLM to a different decision or usage of the tool.

Path ParametersExpand Collapse

objectiveId: string

toolCallId: string

Body ParametersJSONExpand Collapse

memo: optional string

A memo to associate to the tool call denial. Use a memo to steer the LLM to a different decision or usage of the tool.

ReturnsExpand Collapse

ObjectiveToolCall = object { data, metadata, status, 2 more }

ObjectiveToolCall is a record of a tool call made during an objective's execution. Tool calls are mutable — their status changes as they are approved, denied, or executed.

data: ObjectiveToolCallData { callable, arguments, memo, 2 more }

callable: CallableTool { agent, cadenyaProvidedTool, tool }

CallableTool is a union that represents a tool that can be called by an agent. In Cadenya, a tool that is used within an agent objective might be a user-defined tool (IE: MCP, HTTP), another Agent (useful to separate context), or a Cadenya Tool (one Cadenya provides).
