# API Reference: AWS IAM Permission Boundary Agent
## Dependencies
| Library | Version | Purpose |
|---------|---------|---------|
| boto3 | >=1.28 | AWS SDK for IAM permission boundary management |
## CLI Usage
```bash
python scripts/agent.py \
--profile security-admin \
--region us-east-1 \
--audit \
--output-dir /reports/ \
--output iam_boundary_report.json
```
## Functions
### `get_iam_client(profile, region)`
Creates boto3 IAM client with optional named profile.
### `create_permission_boundary(client, policy_name, allowed_services, allowed_regions) -> dict`
Creates an IAM policy for use as a permission boundary. Includes a DenyBoundaryChanges statement to prevent boundary removal. Uses `client.create_policy()`.
### `attach_boundary_to_role(client, role_name, boundary_arn) -> dict`
Calls `client.put_role_permissions_boundary()` to attach a boundary to a role.
### `audit_roles_without_boundary(client) -> list`
Paginates `client.list_roles()` and identifies roles missing `PermissionsBoundary`.
### `audit_boundary_effectiveness(client, role_name) -> dict`
Calls `client.get_role()`, `list_attached_role_policies()`, `list_role_policies()` to show effective policy stack.
### `generate_report(client) -> dict`
Orchestrates audit and generates compliance report.
## boto3 IAM Methods Used
| Method | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `create_policy(PolicyName, PolicyDocument)` | Create boundary policy |
| `put_role_permissions_boundary(RoleName, PermissionsBoundary)` | Attach boundary |
| `list_roles()` | Enumerate all roles |
| `get_role(RoleName)` | Get role details including boundary |
## Output Schema
```json
{
"roles_without_boundary_count": 12,
"roles_without_boundary": [{"role_name": "dev-role", "arn": "arn:aws:iam::..."}],
"recommendations": ["Attach permission boundaries to 12 roles"]
}
