Stacksona for CrewAI

Gate CrewAI tool execution. The crew can reason and plan, but risky tools should call Stacksona before they act.

Gate CrewAI tool execution before external, customer-facing, financial, production, or destructive actions. This page shows the recommended integration pattern using HTTP, a wrapper, or a small bridge service.

Start with this decision step

Every recipe should create a Stacksona decision before the platform executes the risky action.

pseudo
1. Agent prepares a risky action.
2. Platform calls Stacksona with action details.
3. If decision is allow or approved, execute the action.
4. If decision is pending_review, wait, poll, or resume through callback.
5. If decision is reject or rejected, do not execute.

Recommended pattern

StepDescription
Wrap toolsPlace Stacksona before email, API, CRM, payment, file, and production tools.
Return safe resultIf rejected, return a structured denial to the agent rather than executing the action.
Log contextUse logEvent before and after the tool call so reviewers can see how the crew reached the action.

Example

python
# Conceptual CrewAI pattern. Use an HTTP helper or Node sidecar for Stacksona.

def gated_tool_call(task_id, tool_name, payload, execute):
    decision = stacksona_request_decision({
        "taskId": task_id,
        "workflowName": "CrewAI Workflow",
        "taskLabel": f"{tool_name} request",
        "toolName": tool_name,
        "subject": f"Crew wants to run {tool_name}",
        "riskLevel": payload.get("risk_level", "medium"),
        "payload": payload,
    })

    if decision["status"] in ["allow", "approved"]:
        return execute(payload)

    return {"ok": False, "reason": decision["status"]}

Decision handling

StatusWorkflow behavior
allowContinue immediately.
rejectStop the action before execution.
pending_reviewPause, poll, or wait for callback. Continue only after approved.
approvedExecute the action. Validate token first when signed approval is required.
rejectedDo not execute. Route to fallback, manual task, or safe response.

Integration FAQ

Can I use Stacksona with CrewAI today?

Yes. Use the documented native package when one exists. Otherwise, use the REST API, HTTP module, webhook action, or a small Node sidecar with @stacksona/sdk.

Where should Stacksona sit in a CrewAI workflow?

Place Stacksona immediately before the action that sends, updates, deletes, refunds, posts, deploys, or calls a production API.

What statuses should my workflow allow?

Execute the gated action only on allow or approved. Stop, retry, notify, or route to fallback for every other state.
