@agentapprove/pi

Agent Approve extension for Pi. Approve or deny Pi tool calls from your iPhone or Apple Watch. Get the app on the App Store.

Install

Run the Agent Approve installer and select Pi:

npx agentapprove

If Agent Approve is already paired on this machine, you can install the Pi package directly:

pi install npm:@agentapprove/pi@0.1.9

What It Covers

• tool_call blocking approval
• native tool completion events
• MCP tool approvals and completion events grouped by MCP server
• prompt, response, thinking, compaction, stop, and session-end events
• optional follow-up input from Agent Approve when Pi finishes a turn

Runtime Mapping

Pi event	Agent Approve event
session_start	session_start
before_agent_start	user_prompt
tool_call	blocking approval request
tool_result	command_executed, tool_complete, or mcp_complete
tool_execution_end	completion fallback if tool_result was not observed
message_end	thought, response, or plan_generated
session_compact	context_compact
agent_end	stop, with optional follow-up input
session_shutdown	session_end

Approval requests include:

{
  agent: "pi",
  hookType: "tool_call",
  toolName: string,
  toolType: string,
  toolInput?: object,
  command?: string,
  conversationId: string,
  generationId?: string,
  toolCallId?: string,
  model?: string,
  mcpServer?: RuntimeMcpServer,
  metadata: {
    sessionId: string,
    piEventName: "tool_call",
    cwd?: string,
    workspaceRoots?: string[],
    turnId?: string,
    messageId?: string,
    provider?: string,
    model?: string,
    toolCallId?: string
  },

}

Events use the same Agent Approve event envelope with agent: "pi", eventType, conversationId, optional generationId, optional tool metadata, optional mcpServer, optional sessionStats, metadata, and timestamp.
