# How to test an agent's permission boundaries before granting it delete access with iFixAi

Point the audit at your agent's endpoint to see whether it respects role limits before you widen its powers.

**Who it is for:** Engineer about to give an internal agent write or delete rights on real systems

**The problem:** Most agent testing checks answers and never checks whether the agent stays within what it is allowed to do.

**The outcome:** Evidence on whether the agent's permission-related checks pass, so you can decide to grant or withhold access.

## Steps

1. Install the extra for your setup: pip install "ifixai[openai]"
2. Run ifixai setup and choose your agent's real endpoint
3. Run: ifixai run
4. Review the permission and policy categories in the scorecard before changing any access

## Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
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.
