Diagnose why Bedrock denies the model the product depends on - #147
Conversation
Luna and Terra both return AccessDeniedException — 'not available for this
account ... contact AWS Sales' — on InvokeModel and Converse in us-east-1, while
list-foundation-models LISTS all three OpenAI ids. Listing is not access.
This matters more than an error normally would. bedrock.tf already records that
completeViaBedrock treats AccessDeniedException as PERMANENT, returns null, and
every caller in ai.ts degrades to sources-only — so the failure is silent by
design and the product looks like it works while Tenure AI never reasons.
Three hypotheses, checked separately because each has a different fix:
1. ENTITLEMENT — per-account, per-model, and IAM cannot grant it.
2. REGION — us. profiles route to us-east-1/us-east-2/us-west-2 and
entitlement can differ per region, so each is asked directly.
3. POLICY — a permissions boundary or an Organizations SCP denies what an
identity policy allows, and neither appears in the role's own document,
which is why bedrock-iam.test.ts passes while the call is refused.
The earlier probe asked GetFoundationModel about 'us.openai.gpt-5.6-luna' and got
ResourceNotFoundException, because that API takes a FOUNDATION model id and 'us.'
is an inference PROFILE. This asks the right question of each API.
simulate-principal-policy is included because it evaluates identity policy,
boundary and SCP together and states the effective decision, rather than leaving
it to be inferred from three documents read separately.
Read-only: every call is a get/list/describe/simulate. No inference is issued, so
unlike bedrock-model-probe.yml this costs nothing.

In @.github/workflows/bedrock-access-diagnosis.yml:
- Around line 131-144: Update the Summary step to append the collected
entitlement, region, and policy diagnostic outputs to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY,
preserving the existing explanatory text and if: always() condition. Use the
workflow’s existing output symbols and label each result clearly so operators
can diagnose access denials from the summary.
- Around line 70-74: Update the model-diagnostics loop to call
get-foundation-model-availability with each bare model ID via --model-id "$M"
instead of relying only on get-foundation-model metadata. Query and publish
authorizationStatus, entitlementAvailability, agreementAvailability, and
regionAvailability, and grant the workflow role
bedrock:GetFoundationModelAvailability so the diagnostic call succeeds.
- Around line 98-102: Update the regional scan around the AWS CLI pipelines in
the workflow so expected failures from get-foundation-model and
get-inference-profile do not terminate the step under errexit and pipefail.
Capture each command’s exit status while preserving its output, report failures,
and continue executing subsequent checks and regions.
- Around line 124-129: The IAM simulation in the Bedrock diagnosis workflow must
cover the us.openai.gpt-5.6-luna inference-profile ARN and every destination
model ARN returned by get-inference-profile, including us-east-2 and us-west-2,
rather than only the us-east-1 foundation model. Update the simulation flow and
its query to include OrganizationsDecisionDetail.AllowedByOrganizations and
PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail.AllowedByPermissionsBoundary while preserving
the existing evaluation output.

AWS Bedrock GetFoundationModelAvailability API authorizationStatus entitlementAvailability agreementAvailability regionAvailability semantics
💡 Result:
The AWS Bedrock GetFoundationModelAvailability API is used to retrieve the availability status of a specific foundation model within Amazon Bedrock [1][2]. The response provides details on whether a model is authorized for use, its entitlement, any associated agreements, and its availability in the current region [1][3][2]. The response includes the following fields and semantics: - modelId: The unique identifier of the foundation model being queried [1][3]. - agreementAvailability: An object detailing the status of the model agreement [1][3]. It includes a status (which can be AVAILABLE, PENDING, NOT_AVAILABLE, or ERROR) and an optional errorMessage if the status is in an error or unavailable state [4][3][5]. - authorizationStatus: A string indicating the authorization status of the model [1][3]. Valid values are AUTHORIZED or NOT_AUTHORIZED [1][3]. - entitlementAvailability: A string indicating whether the user is entitled to use the model [1][3]. Valid values are AVAILABLE or NOT_AVAILABLE [1][3]. - regionAvailability: A string indicating if the model is available in the region [1][3]. Valid values are AVAILABLE or NOT_AVAILABLE [1][4][3]. This API is commonly used to verify access before attempting to use a model, ensuring that both legal agreements and service entitlements are in place [2].

💡 Result:
The IAM permission required to call the GetFoundationModelAvailability action in Amazon Bedrock is bedrock:GetFoundationModelAvailability [1][2][3]. When you call this API, the response includes an authorizationStatus field, which indicates whether the caller is authorized to use the specified foundation model [4]. This field is a string with two valid values: AUTHORIZED or NOT_AUTHORIZED [4]. In addition to authorizationStatus, the GetFoundationModelAvailability response provides other availability details, including: agreementAvailability: The status of the model agreement [4]. entitlementAvailability: Whether the entitlement for the model is AVAILABLE or NOT_AVAILABLE [4]. regionAvailability: Whether the model is AVAILABLE or NOT_AVAILABLE in the requested region [4]. modelId: The identifier of the foundation model [4]. If the required IAM permission is missing, the request will result in an AccessDeniedException with an HTTP 403 status code [4].

AWS CLI get-foundation-model-availability --model-id syntax
💡 Result:
To use the AWS CLI command to get foundation model availability in Amazon Bedrock, use the following syntax [1][2]: aws bedrock get-foundation-model-availability --model-id Required Parameter: --model-id (string): Specifies the model ID of the foundation model you want to query [1][3]. The model ID must be a string with a minimum length of 0 and a maximum of 140 characters, following a specific alphanumeric pattern [1][3]. Example Usage: aws bedrock get-foundation-model-availability --model-id amazon.titan-text-express-v1 This command retrieves information about the availability, authorization status, and entitlement of the specified foundation model [1][4]. Note that this is distinct from the get-foundation-model command, which uses the --model-identifier parameter to retrieve general details about a foundation model [5].

get-foundation-model only returns model metadata. For each bare model ID, call get-foundation-model-availability --model-id "$M" and publish authorizationStatus, entitlementAvailability, agreementAvailability, and regionAvailability. Ensure the workflow role allows bedrock:GetFoundationModelAvailability; otherwise the call returns AccessDeniedException.

GitHub Actions workflow run step default bash shell invocation -e -o pipefail official documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the shell invocation behavior regarding pipefail depends on whether you explicitly specify shell: bash or rely on the default (unspecified) shell [1][2]. 1. When you explicitly specify shell: bash, GitHub Actions executes the script using the command: bash --noprofile --norc -eo pipefail {0} [1][2][3]. This configuration explicitly enables the pipefail option, ensuring that if any command in a pipeline fails, the entire pipeline returns a non-zero exit code [4]. 2. When the shell is left unspecified on Linux/macOS runners, the default shell is invoked as: bash -e {0} [1][2]. Notably, this default invocation does not include the -o pipefail flag [5][6]. Consequently, if you do not explicitly set shell: bash, a pipeline's exit status is determined solely by the last command executed, potentially masking failures from earlier commands in that pipeline [4]. To ensure consistent pipefail behavior across your workflow steps, it is recommended to explicitly set shell: bash or define it globally using defaults.run.shell: bash [7][4]. If you use a custom shell or shell: sh, you must manually include set -eo pipefail within your scripts to achieve the same safety, as these options replace the standard GitHub Actions shell templates [3][4].

Continue the regional scan after expected AWS CLI failures.
The default Bash shell enables errexit, and set -uo pipefail adds pipefail. A failed aws pipeline terminates the step before later checks or regions run. Capture each status and continue while reporting failures.

AWS Bedrock cross-Region inference IAM policy inference profile ARN source destination foundation model ARNs OrganizationsDecisionDetail PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail simulate-principal-policy
💡 Result:
To enable cross-Region inference in Amazon Bedrock, you must grant permissions to both the inference profile (the "source") and the individual foundation models (the "destinations") in each Region supported by that profile [1][2][3]. IAM Policy Requirements A standard IAM policy for cross-Region inference requires a multi-statement approach: 1. Inference Profile Permission: Grant bedrock:InvokeModel to the ARN of the inference profile in the requesting Region [2][3]. 2. Foundation Model Permissions: Grant bedrock:InvokeModel to the foundation model ARNs in every Region used by the profile [1][2]. 3. Condition Key: It is highly recommended to use the bedrock:InferenceProfileArn condition key to restrict foundation model access so that they can only be invoked through the authorized inference profile [1][2][4]. Example Policy Structure (Geographic) { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "GrantInferenceProfileAccess", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "bedrock:InvokeModel", "Resource": ["arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:123456789012:inference-profile/us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0"] }, { "Sid": "GrantModelAccess", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "bedrock:InvokeModel", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1::foundation-model/anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0", "arn:aws:bedrock:us-west-2::foundation-model/anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0" ], "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "bedrock:InferenceProfileArn": "arn:aws:bedrock:us-east-1:123456789012:inference-profile/us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929-v1:0" } } } ] } Global Inference Considerations For Global cross-Region inference, you must also grant access to a global foundation model ARN (e.g., arn:aws:bedrock:::foundation-model/MODEL-ID) and often use the condition "aws:RequestedRegion": "unspecified" to handle dynamic routing [4][3]. Simulation and Diagnostics The iam:SimulatePrincipalPolicy API can be used to evaluate effective permissions [5]. However, when diagnosing Bedrock cross-Region access, relying solely on simulation may be insufficient because: - It may not fully account for cross-Region inference profile requirements (the dual-resource constraint) [6]. - It does not evaluate trust policies or model access states [6]. - When performing cross-account simulations, OrganizationsDecisionDetail and PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail are used to identify which policy type (e.g., SCPs or boundaries) contributed to an allow or deny decision [5]. If the simulation occurs within a single account, these fields may be empty or not returned depending on the resource scope [5]. For precise troubleshooting, AWS recommends directly reading the policy documents and verifying the inference profile's destination regions using bedrock:GetInferenceProfile [6].

💡 Result:
These terms refer to components within the AWS IAM Policy Simulator's output, specifically within the evaluation decision structures that detail how different policy types influence whether an action is allowed [1]. These fields are typically returned by the simulate-principal-policy API call when analyzing how IAM policies, Service Control Policies (SCPs), and permissions boundaries affect access [1]. OrganizationsDecisionDetail: This structure provides specific information on how AWS Organizations, and specifically Service Control Policies (SCPs), impacted the simulation result [1]. It is only relevant if the account being simulated is part of an AWS Organization [1]. Within this, the AllowedByOrganizations boolean field explicitly indicates whether the simulated operation was allowed or denied by the applicable SCPs [1]. PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail: This structure outlines the influence of a permissions boundary applied to an IAM user or role [1]. The AllowedByPermissionsBoundary boolean field indicates whether the action is permitted by the boundary [1]. A value of true signifies that the boundary did not deny the action and included an Allow statement matching the request [1]. A value of false indicates that the action was either not explicitly allowed or was explicitly denied by the boundary, effectively causing the action to be denied regardless of any identity-based policies [1]. These fields are part of the broader EvaluationResults, which provide a granular breakdown of how each policy type (identity-based, SCP, permissions boundary, etc.) contributes to the final authorization decision [1].

AWS IAM SimulatePrincipalPolicy resource ARNs multiple resources inference profile foundation model cross region
💡 Result:
When using the IAM SimulatePrincipalPolicy API (or the equivalent simulate-principal-policy CLI command), you can provide multiple ARNs in the ResourceArns parameter to test how your policies interact with those specific resources [1][2][3]. Key considerations for your query include: 1. Resource ARNs and Simulation Behavior: The ResourceArns parameter accepts a list of ARNs [2][3]. If you provide multiple ARNs, each action specified in ActionNames is evaluated against each resource ARN provided [1][4]. The simulation returns an aggregate decision for each action, which represents the most restrictive outcome across all provided resources (e.g., if any resource results in an explicit deny, the final decision for that action is an explicit deny) [2][5]. If no ARNs are provided, the parameter defaults to * (all resources) [1][3]. 2. Inference Profiles and Cross-Region Context: Amazon Bedrock inference profiles (which allow routing requests across multiple regions) are identified by specific ARNs (e.g., arn:aws:bedrock:region:account-id:inference-profile/profile-id) [6][7]. When simulating permissions for these, you should include the specific inference profile ARN in the ResourceArns list. Note that cross-region inference profiles may require specific IAM policy conditions, such as aws:RequestedRegion or aws:InferenceProfileArn [6][7]. 3. Limitations: - The policy simulator does not automatically fetch resource-based policies for the ARNs you provide [1][4]. If you are testing a scenario involving resource-based policies, you must provide the policy document itself as a string in the ResourcePolicy parameter [1][8]. - The simulator supports only one resource-based policy per simulation [1]. - Simulation results may differ from live behavior for complex configurations, such as advanced SCPs, VPC endpoint policies, or role chaining [8][9]. For accurate testing of foundation model access via inference profiles, ensure your ActionNames include the relevant Bedrock actions (e.g., bedrock:InvokeModel) and your ResourceArns include the target inference profile ARN(s) [7]. If your policies rely on specific context keys (like aws:RequestedRegion), ensure you provide those values in the ContextEntries parameter to prevent "missing context" errors during simulation [2][3].

Simulate the inference-profile request and all routed model resources.
The simulation checks only the us-east-1 foundation-model ARN. Simulate the us.openai.gpt-5.6-luna inference-profile ARN and every destination model ARN returned by get-inference-profile, including us-east-2 and us-west-2. Add OrganizationsDecisionDetail.AllowedByOrganizations and PermissionsBoundaryDecisionDetail.AllowedByPermissionsBoundary to the query.

Write the diagnostic results to the step summary.
This step writes only fixed explanatory text. It does not publish the entitlement, region, or policy outputs that the workflow collected. Persist each diagnostic command output and append it to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY under if: always() so operators can diagnose the denial without reading every job log.

Update the Summary step to append the collected entitlement, region, and policy
diagnostic outputs to GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, preserving the existing explanatory
text and if: always() condition. Use the workflow’s existing output symbols and
label each result clearly so operators can diagnose access denials from the
summary.
Luna and Terra both return AccessDeniedException — 'not available for this
account ... contact AWS Sales' — on InvokeModel and Converse in us-east-1, while
list-foundation-models LISTS all three OpenAI ids. Listing is not access.
This matters more than an error normally would. bedrock.tf already records that
completeViaBedrock treats AccessDeniedException as PERMANENT, returns null, and
every caller in ai.ts degrades to sources-only — so the failure is silent by
design and the product looks like it works while Tenure AI never reasons.
Three hypotheses, checked separately because each has a different fix:
entitlement can differ per region, so each is asked directly.
identity policy allows, and neither appears in the role's own document,
which is why bedrock-iam.test.ts passes while the call is refused.
The earlier probe asked GetFoundationModel about 'us.openai.gpt-5.6-luna' and got
ResourceNotFoundException, because that API takes a FOUNDATION model id and 'us.'
is an inference PROFILE. This asks the right question of each API.
simulate-principal-policy is included because it evaluates identity policy,
boundary and SCP together and states the effective decision, rather than leaving
it to be inferred from three documents read separately.
Read-only: every call is a get/list/describe/simulate. No inference is issued, so
unlike bedrock-model-probe.yml this costs nothing.
