Govern your AWS agent.
Give agents read-only and staging access to AWS — never the ability to spin up cost or touch production.
The risk
What can go wrong when an agent holds AWS.
A raw AWS token lets an agent do anything the token can — no boundary, no record. These are the actions you don't want it taking on its own.
- Launching expensive instances / runaway cost
- Deleting S3 buckets or RDS snapshots
- Editing IAM roles and policies
- Touching production resources
The HiveKey policy
Scope it. Guard it. Log it.
Give the agent a role with exactly the AWS actions it needs, then guard the rest in the path.
Scope — granted
- ec2.describe
- s3.read:staging-*
- logs.read
Guard — enforced
- Deny resource creation over budget
- No IAM writes
- Production tag = deny
The proof
Every AWS action — allowed or denied — on one trail.

Put your AWS agent under one policy.
