Human In The Loop: Dynamic Form Generation

Agents can generate structured forms when they need additional data, making it easier to collect extra info and approvals from users.

What it does​

When an agent needs clarification or additional input, it can:

  • Generate dynamic forms with appropriate fields
  • Validate user input before proceeding
  • Request approvals for sensitive operations
  • Collect structured data in an intuitive way

How it works​

The agent automatically triggers form generation when it needs more information:

# Example: Booking a flight
> "Book me a flight to New York"

# Agent generates a form requesting:
- Departure date
- Return date
- Preferred airline
- Budget range
- Seat preference

You fill out the form, submit it, and the agent continues with the complete information.

Use Cases​

1. Tool Approvals​

Before executing sensitive operations (deleting files, making API calls), the agent requests confirmation with details about what will happen.

2. Missing Parameters​

When a task requires specific data the agent doesn't have, it generates a form to collect it efficiently.

3. Configuration​

Setting up complex configurations becomes easier with guided form inputs instead of free-form text.

4. Data Collection​

Collect structured information for reports, bookings, or any multi-field data entry.

Configuration​

Configure approval requirements in your agent.yml:

toolApproval:
  mode: selective
  requireApprovalFor:
    - deleteFile
    - executeCommand
    - makePurchase

Benefits​

  • Better UX: Structured forms are easier than back-and-forth messages
  • Validation: Ensure data is correct before processing
  • Safety: Explicit approvals for dangerous operations
  • Efficiency: Collect multiple fields at once
