How to find harmful chains of allowed actions with Policy Lab with iFixAi

Use the offline Policy Lab to find the shortest harmful sequence of permitted actions and test permission fixes.

Who it is forSecurity-minded engineer reviewing a refund or payout workflow where each step is allowed but the combination is not

The problemSingle permissions look fine, yet a chain of permitted actions can still cause harm.

The outcomeA shortest harmful sequence found offline, plus a check that your permission repair still allows legitimate work.

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

  1. Open the Policy Lab doc at docs/business-policy-lab.md in the repo
  2. Follow its offline refund-store example
  3. Adapt the example's policy and actions to your own workflow
  4. Replay with an explicit local callable to confirm the repair holds

Prompt for your agent

Read docs/business-policy-lab.md in ifixai-ai/iFixAi and run the offline refund-store example. Then adapt it to <my workflow>, report the shortest harmful sequence, and verify the proposed permission repair still allows the legitimate completion goal.

Caveat. The README only introduces Policy Lab briefly, so details and commands live in docs/business-policy-lab.md and should be confirmed there.
