## What it is
A Go CLI tool that generates IAM policies by monitoring AWS, Azure, or GCP API calls via client-side monitoring or an embedded proxy. It observes the actions your CLI/SDK performs and produces a least-privilege policy document.

## Use cases
- generate an IAM policy from AWS CLI calls
- create least-privilege policies for Terraform runs
- figure out which IAM permissions my SDK application needs
- generate Azure RBAC roles from observed API calls
- capture GCP IAM permissions from gcloud commands
- audit failed AWS calls to find missing permissions

## When to choose
- you need to write least-privilege IAM policies without guessing permissions
- you want to derive policies from real CLI, SDK, or Terraform activity
- you work across AWS, Azure, or GCP and need policy generation from API traffic

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed-correct Azure or GCP policy output, which is still in preview
- you want static analysis of infrastructure code rather than runtime call monitoring
- you need policy management or enforcement, not just generation
