Reporter context: Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Haystack's Agent component supports for human-in-the-loop tool approval (see hitl-hayhooks-redis-openwebui), but there is no programmatic way to enforce tool-call policies - things like rate limits, argument validation, scope restrictions, or audit logging…Excerpted from the public Issue. Read the complete thread before interpreting it.
Interview five affected users
- Which systems must exchange data?
- What triggers the handoff?
- Which fields or permissions block it?
- How is it handled today?
- Who owns failures between systems?
Run the smallest experiment
Manually operate or prototype one high-frequency connection for one team before building a general connector.
A user completes the real cross-system workflow twice and asks to keep the connection active.Make a build decision
- Build: repeated pain and active commitment
- Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
- Stop: weak frequency or no behavioral proof
