On the other hand, I have a tool that calls some AWS services that may in turn call other AWS services. Now if something fails because of IAM denial, I have to go through the logs to figure out what it needed, sometimes it's not even in the logs (S3). Then add it to the policy and repeat to see the next failed call.
I imagine being able to call real API calls, make them succeed and record what permissions it needed for each of those API calls. I don't need that as a permanent log, just as a development tool.
