# Reject an action

> Reject one waiting action. Nothing is carried out.

Rejects one pending action. Nothing runs. Requires owner or admin and a person. An action that was already decided returns `409`; sending `edits` with a rejection returns `400`.

> [!WARNING]
>
> AI employees are in **beta**. Every route answers `404` unless your deployment has switched the
> beta on. A tool with no saved connection reaches nothing: an approved action on it is recorded as
> `not_sent`, with the draft to use by hand ([Connect your tools](https://docs.mithunai.com/team/connect-your-tools.md)). See
> [AI employees](https://docs.mithunai.com/team/overview.md).
