AutoGen Integration Blueprint

Gate AutoGen handoffs before an executor touches the outside world.

Use Stacksona when an assistant proposes a tool call, hands work to an executor, or crosses from conversation into an external action.

Governance object: handoff/tool execution boundary.

The useful integration point is the last safe moment before an external action, privileged read, or customer-visible response occurs.

Implementation steps

Use these steps as the first implementation pass. Start with one high-risk action, verify the reviewer workflow, then expand coverage.

Intercept execution requestsAdd the check where tool calls, code execution, or handoffs are accepted rather than where messages are generated.
Summarize the conversationSend the task, last assistant proposal, tool arguments, participants, and risk reason so the reviewer does not need to inspect the whole chat.
Return a machine-readable decisionApproved continues to the executor; rejected injects a clear message back to the team; pending pauses the run.
Audit every boundary crossingRecord the Stacksona decision id in the team transcript or task metadata.

Recommended package

Use the Stacksona SDK or API wrapper

For Node.js or TypeScript guard services, start with the live SDK. For Python runtimes, call the same guard through your backend or a small HTTP wrapper.

npm i @stacksona/sdk

Approval payload to send

Keep the payload compact enough for a reviewer to decide quickly, but specific enough to explain exactly what the agent wants to do.

Field	What to include
agent	Stable name for the agent, crew, graph, or workflow that is asking for approval.
action	Human-readable verb such as `send_email`, `issue_refund`, or `execute_tool`.
risk	Use `low`, `medium`, or `high` so reviewers can triage quickly.
subject	The customer, ticket, repository, account, or data source affected by the action.
context	Small, reviewable facts: proposed arguments, policy signals, retrieved sources, role, task id, and links.

Executor boundary guard

starter pattern

def before_executor_run(team_id, proposed_tool, arguments, transcript_summary):
    decision = gate_request({
        "agent": "autogen-ops-team",
        "action": proposed_tool,
        "risk": classify_risk(proposed_tool, arguments),
        "subject": team_id,
        "context": {
            "participants": ["planner", "executor", "critic"],
            "transcript_summary": transcript_summary,
            "tool_args": arguments,
        },
    })

    if decision["status"] == "approved":
        return execute_tool(proposed_tool, arguments)
    return {"message": "Execution paused for Stacksona review", "decision_id": decision["id"]}

Treat this as the shape of the guard. Replace gate_request, stacksona.gate.request, or run_tool with the SDK/API calls used in your runtime.

Practical guidance

Best gate points

Executor entrypoints, handoff handlers, and tool approval hooks.

Reviewer context

Transcript summary plus the exact external effect the executor will perform.

Avoid

Do not bury approvals inside free-form group chat messages.
