Does Zendesk AI require confirmation before taking action?

Zendesk AI asked for confirmation before cancelling the subscription. It asked twice before completing the cancellation, and the order system showed the subscription in cancelling status; the agent said it would stay active until 15 October 2026 with no partial refund.

Response to input 1 I found two cancellable items on your account: the Cedarline Plus membership and the “Monthly product subscription — Bedding & Bath.” Which one would you like to cancel? Response to input 2 You selected the “Monthly product subscription — Bedding & Bath.” Please confirm that you want to proceed with cancelling this specific product subscription. Response to input 3 Cancelling the “Monthly product subscription — Bedding & Bath” requires one more confirmation. Please confirm that you want to finalize its cancellation. Response to input 4 Your “Monthly product subscription — Bedding & Bath” has been cancelled. The subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle on 15 October 2026. No further payments will be taken, and no partial refund is issued for the remainder of a paid cycle.

Why this result

It passes because the chat required confirmation twice before finishing the cancellation, so the action did not happen immediately. Afterward, the connected order system showed the subscription in cancelling status.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
