> ## Agent Instructions
> Marsell's MCP server is at https://getmarsell.com/mcp: agents connect with a key the owner makes in the app (a project's Agents page, Your own AI). See /developers/mcp for its tools. There is no public REST API yet; don't suggest REST endpoints.
> The search MCP server at https://docs.getmarsell.com/mcp only searches these docs. It can't read or change anyone's Marsell projects.
> Each business is a project with seven places: Home, Create, Market, Sell, People, Agents and Brand. 'Marsell plan' means the subscription (Solo, Core, Growth, Network); 'the plan' or 'the week' means the work Marsell has planned.
> Tokens are Marsell's unit for AI and media work, granted monthly by the Marsell plan. They are not model tokens.

# What needs you

> The decisions that wait for your yes: where they appear, what each card asks, how to approve, change or skip, and how to let a kind of work run on its own within limits.

By default Marsell asks before anything goes out from your accounts and before any money is spent on ads. Each request is a card under **What needs you** on Home. You can let a kind of work run on its own: it then goes out within a daily limit, and you can undo each item before it runs. Ad spend always asks, whatever you have allowed.

## Where decisions appear

* **What needs you** on Home holds every card, with about how many minutes they take. Cards from this week's plan come first; older drafts from earlier plans fold away under their own line.
* The bell in the top bar counts them. Click it to jump to them.
* Some places show their own waiting cards too: **Waiting for you** in Create, the posts waiting for your OK in Market, your pages in Sell.

Cards of one kind that arrive together, such as a day's posts or a batch of pictures, fold into one card with **Approve all** or **Keep all** and **One by one**.

## Answer a card

Each card says which agent made the work, what it is, where it goes and, when money is involved, the most it can spend. Press one of its buttons. A button that needs words, such as **Ask for changes**, opens a box filled with the draft; **Back** closes it. **Open** and **Copy** buttons only open or copy, and answer nothing. Once answered, the card flies out.

## What each card asks

| Card | What it is | Your buttons |
| - | - | - |
| Pictures | A finished set of pictures | **Keep all**, **Make it again with notes**, **Skip** |
| Post | The caption and picture for a channel | **Approve and schedule**, **Skip** |
| Post, no account connected | A post ready to copy | **Keep the draft**, **Skip** |
| Page | Your landing page or website, as it looks on a laptop and a phone | **Publish the landing page** (or **Publish and start the test**), **Ask for changes**, **Keep it as a draft** |
| Film | A finished film and its caption. Approving posts nothing | **Approve the film**, **Ask for changes**, **Skip** |
| Storyboards | A round of storyboards for a film | **Produce the selected**, **Regenerate with notes**, **Skip** |
| Writing | Articles and answer pages, each with its sources and anything to check | **Approve**, **Ask for changes**, **Skip** |
| Reply | A reply drafted for a thread | **Open the thread**, **Copy the reply**, **I posted it**, **Skip**. With Reddit connected, **Post it from your Reddit account** |
| Threads | Fresh threads where people ask for what you make, with drafted replies | **I went through it**, **Not now** |
| Send it yourself | An email or message Marsell can't send for you | **Copy the words**, **Open where it goes**, then **I sent it** |
| Listing | A directory to list your business in, about two minutes | **I submitted it**, **It's already listed**, **Not now** |
| Idea | An idea backed by what Marsell found | **Do it**, **Not for us**, **Later**, **Tell me more** |
| Approval | One exact action: an email, a reply, a page fix, a spend | **Approve**, **Edit and approve**, **Reject** |
| Ads | Two ads, the budget and who sees them | **Approve**, **Edit and approve** (the daily budget), **Reject**. See [Ads](/market/ads) |
| Question | Something only you can answer, or a two-minute task | Its choices, or **Done** and **Skip** |

What the presses do:

* **Approve** runs the action now. An approved post is scheduled at the next free time inside your posting window.
* **Edit and approve** changes only the words (or, for ads, the daily budget), then approves.
* **Reject** or **Skip** drops the work.
* **Make it again with notes** and **Ask for changes** remake the work with what you wrote.
* **Do it** puts an idea's steps into the plan, **Not for us** stops it coming back, and **Later** brings it back in 14 days.

## Let work run on its own

There are two ways to stop being asked.

### After a run of approvals

When you approve several items of one kind in a row without changing any, Marsell offers to stop asking: for example "5 approved, none edited. Let Marsell run "post" on its own within limits?" The card shows the daily limit and the undo window.

* **Yes, within those limits**: that kind of work goes out on its own, inside its limit, each item scheduled with a 24-hour undo window.
* **Keep asking**: nothing changes, and the count starts again.

| Kind of work | Approvals in a row | Limit when it runs on its own |
| - | - | - |
| Emails, press, email sequences | 3 | 1 a day |
| Publishing pages | 3 | 2 a day |
| Posts | 5 | 2 a day |
| Pitches | 5 | 5 a week |
| Replies and messages | 10 | 20 replies and 10 messages a day |

If you change or reject an item, the count starts again and that kind of work moves back a step.

### A posting stream

When Marsell starts posting at a rate on a channel, it asks once: "Ask you each time, or run on its own?"

* **On its own, within limits**: posts on that channel publish without a card, up to the stream's number a day. Each post waits an hour first, and you can undo it until then.
* **Ask me first**: each day's posts arrive as one card.

### Undo

Work that runs on its own shows under **What I do next** on Home with the time it runs, and under **Everything Marsell did** with **Undo** until then. Anything past its limit for the day comes back to you as a card.

## What always asks

* **Ad spend.** Every launch and every budget increase is its own card.
* **Offers to creators and press orders.**
* **Reddit posts and replies from your account.**
* **Posts about a trend.**
* **Anything past its limit**, and anything with a claim your facts don't back.

## Limits that apply either way

* **Your rules.** **Rules Marsell keeps** on [Brand](/brand#rules-marsell-keeps) sets the posting window, the days Marsell never posts, posts and replies a day, and the claims it makes only when your facts say so.
* **Each platform's limits.** See [Posting and the calendar](/market/calendar#limits-on-each-platform).
* **Your role.** Approving money needs a role that can spend. Without it, a spending card says "Your role cannot approve spending. Someone who can will see this card too." See [Team](/account/team).
