Authentication Flow Rules

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to define and enforce rules governing authentication flows. It enables specifying conditions for user verification, such as multi-factor authentication requirements based on risk scores or device types. The skill ensures consistent application of security policies across different applications and services.

When to use it

• Enforcing MFA: Implement mandatory multi-factor authentication for users accessing sensitive data or performing critical actions.
• Risk-based Authentication: Trigger stronger authentication methods (e.g., biometric verification) when a login attempt is flagged as high risk.
• Device Trust: Grant simplified access to trusted devices while requiring stricter authentication on unknown or untrusted devices.
• Conditional Access Policies: Define rules that restrict access based on user roles, location, or time of day.

Key capabilities

• Rule definition: Create and manage authentication flow rules with specific conditions and actions.
• Risk assessment integration: Incorporate risk scores from external services to dynamically adjust authentication requirements.
• Device recognition: Identify and categorize devices accessing the system.
• Policy enforcement: Automatically apply defined rules during user login attempts.

Example prompts

• "Create a rule that requires MFA for users with a risk score above 70."
• "Define a policy to allow access from trusted devices without password authentication."
• "Show me all active authentication flow rules."

Tips & gotchas

The skill relies on accurate risk assessment data; ensure integration with a reliable risk scoring service. Incorrectly configured rules can inadvertently block legitimate users, so thorough testing is recommended before deployment.
