Short answer

How can I apply manual risk decisions with my AI?

Your agent uses Sift tools to view pending decisions and execute them on specific accounts. You can instruct your agent to block or allow users based on the risk data it sees. This allows you to handle fraud response through natural language.

Where every decision lands.

Risk management outcomes

The agent processes your commands into specific Sift actions.

BLOCK

User is restricted

The agent applies a block to a suspicious account. This stops further fraudulent activity immediately.

ALLOW

User is cleared

The agent lifts restrictions on an account. This restores access for legitimate customers caught in a false positive.

REVIEW

Human intervention

If the risk is unclear, the agent flags the case for you. You decide the final outcome after checking the details.

LOG

Audit trail updated

Every action the agent takes is recorded in Sift. You get a clean history of why a user was blocked or allowed.

The workflow

What your AI does when a risk alert arrives.

The agent bridges the gap between seeing a risk and fixing it.

  1. Fetch risk data

    The agent pulls the current list of pending decisions from your Sift account to see what needs attention.

    list_sift_decisions

  2. Analyze the user

    Your agent looks at the specific risk signals and user history to suggest the best course of action.

    list_sift_decisions

  3. Execute the decision

    Once you confirm, the agent tells Sift to apply the specific decision to the user's profile.

    apply_user_decision

  4. Confirm completion

    The agent verifies the decision was successful and updates your chat so you can move to the next task.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI block users automatically without me?

    No. The agent only applies decisions when you explicitly instruct it to do so in chat.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete user data from Sift?

    No. The tools only allow for applying specific risk decisions like blocking or allowing users.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my Sift login password?

    No. Vinkius manages the connection securely so your agent only uses the authorized tools.

  • 04

    Can I undo a decision the AI made?

    Yes. You can tell the agent to apply a different decision to the same user to reverse an action.

  • 05

    What happens if the Sift API is down?

    The agent will tell you it cannot reach Sift and won't be able to pull or apply any decisions.
