Troubleshooting ‘Intent-Mismatch’ Blocks in Agentic Access Management (AAM™)

This article explains why an AI agent might be blocked even if it has the correct technical permissions. In Oasis Security, access is granted based on Intent. If an AI agent (like a coding bot or a data agent) tries to perform an action that doesn't match its pre-approved "intent" (e.g., trying to delete a database when its intent was only to read), Oasis will block the session via a Just-In-Time (JIT) identity failure.

Key Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Check the Oasis Scout logs for "Intent Deviation" alerts.

2. Verify if the agent’s natural language prompt was correctly mapped to a structured policy.

3. Confirm that the ephemeral (short-lived) token hasn't expired mid-task.
