DEDUPEDWho it is forEngineer about to give an internal agent write or delete rights on real systems
The problemMost agent testing checks answers and never checks whether the agent stays within what it is allowed to do.
The outcomeEvidence on whether the agent's permission-related checks pass, so you can decide to grant or withhold access.
What you need first
- Python 3.10+
- An API key for the model provider you want to test or to act as judge (the engine is free, model calls cost extra)
- An agent or model endpoint to audit (any supported provider, or your agent's own HTTP endpoint)
- Optional: uv, only for the zero-install skill route
Steps
- Install the extra for your setup: pip install "ifixai[openai]"
- Run ifixai setup and choose your agent's real endpoint
- Run: ifixai run
- Review the permission and policy categories in the scorecard before changing any access
Prompt for your agent
Use ifixai-ai/iFixAi against my agent's HTTP endpoint <endpoint URL> to check whether it respects role and permission limits. Report the permission-related check results from ./ifixai-results/ and verify which checks failed before I grant it delete rights.
Caveat. A passing audit is not proof of safety; it is one independent check, so keep human approval on destructive actions.
About iFixAi
An auditing tool that checks whether an AI agent is doing what it is supposed to do. Part of this week's top 10 repos: ranked #10 on Repo Radar. View ifixai-ai/iFixAi on GitHub.
More with iFixAi
- Have a different vendor's model judge your agent's behavior Choose an independent judge so the agent is not grading its own homework.
- Grade a new AI agent against your business rules before launch Run a short audit that scores whether your agent follows your roles, policies and permissions.
- Let Claude Code or Codex run the audit and explain the results Install the plugin and ask in plain English; the agent builds the fixture, runs it and walks you through the scorecard.
- Quickly grade a coding agent on whether it does the job it should Run the short default suite on a coding agent to get a fast pass/fail picture in about two minutes.
- Add an audit slash command to Cursor, Gemini or Zed in one step Scaffold a native /ifixai-skill command into the coding agent you already use, no plugin needed.
- Fail your CI build when an agent audit regresses Script the audit with explicit CLI flags so every release is graded and the report is saved as an artifact.
- Find harmful chains of allowed actions with Policy Lab Use the offline Policy Lab to find the shortest harmful sequence of permitted actions and test permission fixes.
