# approve_request

> Approve or deny a pending approval request and complete the follow-up action.

Resolves a pending approval request with an approve or deny decision. Use it after [create\_card](/companies/mcp/tools/create_card) or [get\_card\_details](/companies/mcp/tools/get_card_details) returns a 202 that requires approval; on approval it automatically completes the follow-up action and returns the result.

## Parameters

| Parameter     | Type   | Required | Description                                                                         |
| ------------- | ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `approval_id` | string | Yes      | The approval request ID.                                                            |
| `decision`    | string | Yes      | `approved` or `denied`.                                                             |
| `action`      | string | Yes      | The original action type from the approval prompt: `card_details` or `transaction`. |
| `resource_id` | string | Yes      | For `card_details`, the card ID. For `transaction`, the approval ID.                |

## Returns

A message describing the outcome, with a `status` of `denied`, `card_details`, `card_created`, or `unknown_action`. If the decision is `denied`, no action is taken. If approved with `action: "card_details"` (where `resource_id` is the card ID), it fetches and returns the full card details, with the PAN and CVV appearing only in the text. If approved with `action: "transaction"` (where `resource_id` is the approval ID), it creates the card and returns its ID, last 4 digits, expiry, balance, and status.
