Class: DecisionRequiredError

Raised by agent.resume() when a run paused on a CONSENT GATE and the resume input is not a CheckInDecision.

Before 8.13.0 that resume silently DECLINED, attributed to by: 'unknown' — a checkin.decision record naming a person who was never asked. A governance layer that invents a decision is worse than one that drops it: the run reads as consented-and-refused when nobody consented to anything.

Nothing was executed and the checkpoint is unchanged — this refuses at the API boundary, before the engine is handed the checkpoint. Answer the gate and resume the same checkpoint again.

A plain askHuman() / pauseHere() pause never raises this: there the human's answer IS the tool's result, so any value is accepted. The 3LO credential-consent pause never raises it either — it re-asks the provider and ignores the input by design.

readonly optional middleware?: string

'ask' only — the middleware that asked.

received

readonly received: string

Defined in: src/core/pause.ts:217

What arrived instead, as a TYPE NAME only ('a string', 'nothing', …).

Never the value. A resume payload is caller data that may carry anything a person typed, and an error message is copied into logs, tickets and crash reporters by default.

stack?

optional stack?: string

Defined in: node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:1078

Inherited from

Error.stack

stackTraceLimit

static stackTraceLimit: number

Defined in: node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:67

The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)).

The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed.

If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.

Error.stackTraceLimit

toolName?

readonly optional toolName?: string

Defined in: src/core/pause.ts:207

The tool the gate is about, when the pause named one.

Methods

captureStackTrace()

static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void

Defined in: node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:51

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();

static prepareStackTrace(err, stackTraces): any
