Does ChatGPT or Claude ask before Aila changes something?

ChatGPT asks before each tool that is not read-only. Claude asks before each tool that is marked destructive. You do not approve the change again in Aila. Borrower messages are different: Aila writes a draft, and the draft must be approved before it is sent. See How changes run.

How do I undo a change?

Ask the assistant to undo it. A change that can be undone returns an actionLogId, and the aila_undo_action tool reverses it one time. See Undo a change.

My prompt uses list_calls and it stopped working

The tools have new names, for example calls_list. The old names work until December 22, 2026. See Old tool names.
