Retract gives AI agents a review step before production writes
Retract holds an agent’s database writes and outgoing API calls or email for review, then lets a human commit or discard them.

- Developers connecting AI agents to production systems
- Worth noticing
- Reads pass through while writes use a scratch copy; outgoing calls wait in an ordered outbox, and the agent uses stand-in credentials.
Field notes
The agent connects with a Postgres connection string or API base URL, so the described setup does not require rewriting the agent. The page says reads pass through and agents use stand-in credentials, while production keys are encrypted only on commit. Current support is labeled pre-alpha; the homepage lists files, an MCP server, SDKs, and a review UI as next.
