A monitoring workflow can query for new or changed rows, ask an Agent block to return a structured severity and destination, and use Conditions to route the result. If the workflow may change customer data, disable an account, or start remediation, [Human in the Loop](https://docs.sim.ai/workflows/blocks/human-in-the-loop) can pause the run and collect an approval decision. A downstream Condition must inspect that decision before the workflow continues.
