Agent Permission Review

Produce an access, action, and reversibility checklist before an agent can affect software or people.

Plan for this page

Apply your judgment to a real situation and keep a reusable result.

You will leave with: Record permitted operations, prohibited effects, approval gates, observation, and recovery.
Time: 10 min
Before you begin: Use this for a proposed agentic workflow, a permission change, a new tool connection, or a review of existing delegated authority.
Do this now: Choose one real case, then answer in order without skipping a question.

When to use it

Review each concrete operation, not broad access labels. Scope permission to purpose, identity, time, object, value, and consequence.

What you will make

A narrow purpose is the basis for least privilege.

Read, create, edit, send, delete, spend, and delegate are not one permission.

Review belongs before consequential and difficult-to-reverse action.

Logs should support explanation and recovery without collecting unnecessary data.

A stop label is meaningful only if external actions can be halted or repaired.

Reusable result

Record permitted operations, prohibited effects, approval gates, observation, and recovery.

This conceptual review is not a security assessment, threat model, access-control test, legal review, or authorization to deploy.

Do not enter real credentials, third-party records, access lists, incidents, or internal security details.
