What a confirm gate is
A confirm gate is a required approval before an agent writes a sensitive hotel action: changing a stay, posting a charge, or pushing rates. The agent can observe, reason, and recommend. The write waits.
NISKA uses that pattern so automation stays useful without giving a model a blank check on the folio.
Where the gate sits
Guest-facing Concierge proposes a stay action and waits for the guest or the desk. Revenue and channel actions stay inside floors, ceilings, and operator policy.
The glossary entry for confirm gate is the short definition. This note is the operating reason: hotels are not sandboxes, and a wrong cancellation is a trust failure.
