# Confirmation Required with Mixed Tools

> Require confirmation for some tools only. The agent runs unconfirmed tools automatically and pauses for the ones that need approval.

**1. Create a Python file**

```python confirmation_required_mixed_tools.py theme={null}
import json

from agno.db.sqlite import SqliteDb
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIResponses
from agno.tools import tool
from agno.utils import pprint
from rich.console import Console
from rich.prompt import Prompt

console = Console()

    Args:
        num_stories (int): Number of stories to retrieve

    Returns:
        str: JSON string containing story details
    """
    # Fetch top story IDs
    response = httpx.get("https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/topstories.json")
    story_ids = response.json()

    # Yield story details
    all_stories = []
    for story_id in story_ids[:num_stories]:
        story_response = httpx.get(
            f"https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/{story_id}.json"
        )
        story = story_response.json()
        if "text" in story:
            story.pop("text", None)
        all_stories.append(story)
    return json.dumps(all_stories)

    markdown=True,
    db=SqliteDb(db_file="tmp/confirmation_required_mixed_tools.db"),
)

run_response = agent.run(
    "Fetch the top 2 hackernews stories and email them to john@doe.com."

            message = (
                Prompt.ask("Do you want to continue?", choices=["y", "n"], default="y")
                .strip()
                .lower()
            )

            if message == "n":
                requirement.reject()
            else:
                requirement.confirm()
