What does a Grok Bot have to ask me first?
It depends on the tool, the risk, and your Auto-review rules when those are turned on. Official FAQ says sensitive or consequential actions can stop for approval. Put standing boundaries in each Bot’s description, and add narrow ask-first rules for sending, publishing, deleting, purchasing, or changing production systems. Passwords, two-factor codes, CAPTCHA checks, and similar human-only steps use a computer takeover. You type those yourself. Do not paste them into chat. A test of a routine is still real work, so keep writes behind that same approval line.

Where to read the longer guide
Botski’s Approvals, security, and privacy page walks through the same official boundary in more detail. If a Bot goes quiet, check whether it is waiting on an approval before you assume it crashed.
