- Who it helps
- Developers maintaining applications that pause for tool approval.
- Availability
- Release ai@7.0.162 was published November 3. This brief covers the 7.x patch; it does not establish equivalent behavior in other release branches.
Approval fields survive the pause
The release restores tool metadata, dynamic status and title during approval continuations. That matters when a policy depends on those fields rather than only a tool name.

Durable runs gain a combined trace
The patch also documents a single telemetry operation for durable WorkflowAgent runs. Its OpenTelemetry bridge requires the same ID-generator instance across the specified integrations; existing per-model tracing remains without that bridge.
