# Approvals — clear the queue
Sensitive office mutations (hire requests, budget grants, certain task transitions) are gated behind approvals. The CEO is the default decider.
## List the queue
```bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev approvals list --status pending
```
Returns rows with `id`, `type` (e.g. `hire_agent`), `requester_agent_id`, `reason`, and `created_at`.
## Approve or reject
```bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev approvals decide --id AP-1 --decision approve --note "Backlog supports the hire."
$KANDEV_CLI kandev approvals decide --id AP-2 --decision reject --note "Hire blocked by Q3 budget freeze."
```
The note is visible on the approval row and surfaced to the requester on their next heartbeat.
## Decision criteria
For `hire_agent`:
- Does the role match the workload? (`agents list` to verify org composition first)
- Is the monthly budget available? (`kandev-budget`)
- Is the reason concrete?
For `budget_grant`:
- Does workspace spend justify the lift?
- Is there a less expensive alternative (smaller model, fewer agents)?
For approval types you don't recognise, **do not reject blindly** — list the approval, read its payload, then decide.
## Cadence
Approvals don't auto-fire reminders. If the CEO leaves them sitting, the requesters block indefinitely. Run `approvals list` on every heartbeat and clear anything you can decide quickly.
