# Escalation Primitive

An escalation is a structured pause in an agent run. It says: this run is blocked, this is the case, this is the question, this is the evidence, and these are the choices a human can make.

The agent supplies decision content:

* `agentId`: the workflow or agent that paused.
* `runId`: the durable run handle you will use to resume.
* `subject`: the real-world object under review.
* `question`: the exact decision needed from a reviewer.
* `evidence`: an array of strings.
* `choices`: selectable outcomes for the reviewer.
* `resume`: optional callback instructions.

The policy supplies operations: queue, reviewers, notifications, SLA, timeout behavior, and audit context.

See the [quickstart](/quickstart) for the complete request and callback flow.
