Action Configurations

Define parameter constraints for how agents use actions

Action Configurations

Action configurations let you define exactly how an agent can use a specific action. You set which parameters are locked to specific values and which the agent can choose freely.

Why Use Action Configurations?

Without configurations, an agent can request any action from its enabled connectors with any parameters. Configurations add guardrails:

• Lock parameters — force specific values (e.g., only allow creating issues in a specific repository).
• Constrain values — use wildcard patterns to limit what the agent can pass.
• Bind credentials — link a specific credential to the configuration so the right account is used.

When an agent includes a configuration_id in its approval request, Permission Slip validates the action parameters against the configuration’s constraints before processing the request.

Create a Configuration

1. Open the connector detail page

   Navigate to the agent’s config page, then click Configure on the connector.

2. Click Add Configuration

   In the Action Configurations section, click Add Configuration.

3. Fill in the details

   • Name — a human-readable label for this configuration.
   • Action — select which action this configuration applies to.
   • Parameters — set values or constraints for each parameter.
   • Credential — optionally bind a stored credential.
   • Enabled — toggle whether the configuration is active.
4. Save

   Click Create. The configuration appears in the table and is immediately active.

Manage Configurations

Each configuration in the table shows:

Column	Description
Name	The configuration’s label
Action	Which action type it applies to
Parameters	Number of constrained parameters
Credential	Which stored credential is bound (if any)
Status	Enabled or disabled

Use the pencil icon to edit a configuration or the trash icon to delete it.

Configuration Templates

Some connectors provide pre-built templates that you can use as a starting point. Templates pre-fill the action type and common parameter values, so you only need to customize the parts specific to your use case.
