What always needs a confirmation
- publishing or scheduling a post via Buffer
- sending a message in Discord
- sending a contract via Documenso
- creating, changing or deleting chat commands
- putting a link or partner on your SITE
- adding a public FAQ for the Twitch chat
- changing the target of a short link
What it looks like
A card Wartet auf deine Bestätigung (waiting for your confirmation) appears in the chat. Below it is exactly what should happen, with all details, e.g. channel and text of the post.1
Check
Read through the details. If something is wrong, tell it instead of confirming.

Decide
Ausführen (run) or Abbrechen (cancel). Afterwards the card says Ausgeführt (done), Abgebrochen (cancelled) or Fehlgeschlagen (failed).
- Only the person who triggered the action can confirm it.
- The card is valid for 15 minutes. After that it says the action has expired, and you simply ask again.
- When you confirm, oxom checks once more whether you are allowed to do this right now.
After outside content it asks more often
If the Agent has read something from outside in a reply, e.g. a website, a file, a Notion document or your calendar, it asks before every action for the rest of that reply, even before a short link or a draft. Outside texts can contain hidden instructions. This way nobody can make the Agent do something you don’t want through a prepared file. In these cases the card shows the technical name of the action, e.g.shortenUrl, with all details after it.
What gets logged
Under Einstellungen → Logs (Settings → Logs) admins and owners see, among other things:- which actions the Agent ran after confirmation
- which actions were blocked
- errors in individual steps
- messages that looked like an attack on the Agent
- reported missing capabilities
