Vercel

AI SDK 6

DEPLOYif you build TypeScript agents

WHAT SHIPPEDAI SDK 6 adds an Agent abstraction, ToolLoopAgent with a 20-step default loop, tool execution approval via a needsApproval flag, strict mode, MCP tool calling with structured output, DevTools, reranking, standard JSON Schema, and image editing. Thomson Reuters built CoCounsel with 3 developers in 2 months and now serves 1,300 accounting firms.

THE CATCHThe approval flag is the safety layer: set needsApproval true for destructive tools like rm -rf, or pass a function to decide per input. The same tool definition powers agent logic, API responses, and typed UI components.

IF YOU RUNa Next.js or React app with tool calling agents and want human approval before file deletion or payment processing
