Control Claude permissions using a cloud-based decision table UI

Provides a visual, no-code interface for defining and managing Claude API permission rules through a cloud-hosted decision table. Rules are stored as structured configurations that can be edited, versioned, and deployed without code changes. The UI abstracts complex permission logic into row-based conditions and actions, enabling non-technical stakeholders to control API access patterns.

Intercepts Claude API calls before they reach the API, evaluates them against the decision table rules, and either allows, denies, or throttles the request based on matching conditions. The middleware integrates with the Claude SDK or HTTP client layer, evaluating rules synchronously with minimal latency overhead. Rule matching uses condition evaluation (e.g., user role, token count, model type) to determine the enforcement action.

Evaluates complex boolean conditions against request and user context to determine if a rule matches. The engine supports multiple condition types (user role, token count thresholds, model type, time-based rules, custom attributes) and combines them with AND/OR logic. Conditions are defined declaratively in the decision table and compiled into efficient evaluation logic that runs synchronously during request processing.

Tracks all changes to permission rules with timestamps, user attribution, and before/after snapshots. Each rule modification creates a new version that can be rolled back or compared. Audit logs record every permission decision (allow/deny/throttle) with the rule that matched, user context, and request details. Logs are persisted in the cloud and queryable for compliance reporting.

Supports defining separate permission rule sets for development, staging, and production environments, with the ability to promote rules between environments. Rules are deployed to the cloud service without code changes, and environment-specific overrides can be applied. The system tracks which rule version is active in each environment and supports gradual rollout or A/B testing of new rules.

Provides language-specific SDKs (JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, etc.) that wrap the official Claude SDK and transparently intercept API calls to evaluate them against permission rules. The SDK is a drop-in replacement that requires minimal code changes — developers import the guarded SDK instead of the official one. Interception happens before the request leaves the client, with rule evaluation happening locally or via a remote decision service.

Provides pre-built rule templates for common permission scenarios (e.g., 'deny all gpt-4 access', 'limit tokens per user per day', 'allow only admins to use extended context'). Templates can be customized and combined to create complex policies without writing rules from scratch. The UI includes a template library with descriptions and recommended use cases.

Synchronizes permission rules from the cloud service to local clients or edge servers with minimal latency. Rules are cached locally with a configurable TTL (time-to-live), and updates are pushed via webhooks or polling. The system handles network failures gracefully by falling back to cached rules. Rule changes propagate to all clients within seconds, ensuring consistent enforcement across distributed systems.

Aggregates permission decision logs to provide insights into API usage patterns, permission denials, and potential policy issues. Reports include metrics like 'most denied users', 'most common denial reasons', 'token usage by user/team', and 'rule hit frequency'. The analytics dashboard visualizes trends over time and supports filtering by user, rule, environment, and date range. Data can be exported for external analysis.

Allows permission rules to reference user identity and team membership to enforce different policies for different users or teams. Rules can specify conditions like 'allow only if user is in admin team' or 'limit tokens per user per day'. User and team information is passed in request context and matched against rule conditions. The system supports dynamic team membership (e.g., from LDAP or SAML) without requiring rule updates.
