Grade action reversibility

How reversible is action, given any context, from a trivial undo to an irreversible external effect?

You need to decide whether an agent may proceed on its own or must pause for approval before a step that cannot be taken back.

Use action-reversibility in TypeScript

Install with npm install jev-recipes. Requires Node.js 22.9 or newer and ES modules. Set TYPESAFE_API_KEY in your server environment for live calls, which send input to TypeSafe and use API quota. See the installation guide.

import { actionReversibility } from 'jev-recipes/action-reversibility';

const result = await actionReversibility({
  "action": "Send the drafted outage apology email to the 1,200 customers on the affected-accounts list.",
  "context": "The draft has been approved. The send goes through the marketing platform, which has no recall feature once a campaign is dispatched.",
  "minConfidence": 0.8
});
console.log(result);
