Preloop is a policy engine and human approval layer for autonomous AI agents. It intercepts requests when AI agents attempt risky actions — like deployments, refunds, or data modifications — and routes them for human approval before execution. Teams define policies specifying what an AI agent can do autonomously, what it cannot do, and what requires approval. Works with any MCP-compatible agent including Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, with notifications via mobile app, Slack, and email.
Preloop is a policy engine for AI agents that intercepts risky actions like deployments, refunds, or data changes and routes them to a human for approval before execution. You define what each agent can do autonomously and what needs oversight.
Which AI agents work with Preloop?
Preloop works with any MCP-compatible AI agent, including Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. You connect your agent to Preloop via MCP and define policies for each tool the agent uses.
How do I get notified about approval requests?
Preloop sends notifications via its mobile app, Slack, Mattermost, or email when an AI agent attempts an action that requires human approval according to your defined policies.
