1250 € per session, excl. VAT

In short

Automate repetitive tasks securely by integrating Codex into your workflows. This course shows how to build a small, automated process for generating a weekly report, using connectors and least-privilege permissions. You will learn to configure access controls, set up approval policies, and ensure safe, audited AI operations.

Why this training?

The problem
Fragmented uses and results that are hard to verify.
What it costs today
Manual rework and decisions based on incomplete information.
Why this skill
A connected demonstration process with limited permissions, tests and controlled stopping.
What you gain
A connected demonstration process with limited permissions, tests and controlled stopping.

Objectives of this training

  • Define a business process suitable for secure AI automation.
  • Configure Codex plugins and MCP connections for a specific tool.
  • Implement least-privilege access using 'read-only' and 'workspace-write' sandbox modes.
  • Establish an approval policy with logging and a stop rule.
  • Build and test a complete, secure workflow for a business task.
  • A connected demonstration process with limited permissions, tests and controlled stopping.

Who is it for and what are the prerequisites?

Roles and tasks concerned

  • Process owners or IT managers responsible for automating tasks with AI.
  • Technical project managers looking to implement AI solutions securely.
  • System administrators tasked with managing and securing AI tool integrations.

Prior skills

  • AI Fundamentals and AI Prompting completed, or equivalent experience (a learning prerequisite, not a registration condition).
  • Have practised: How to have a change reviewed and tested by Codex before validating it?; How to create skills and automate a routine with Codex?, or have equivalent skills. Compatible Codex account and authorised demonstration environment; verify repository, terminal, tests and connectors with least privilege. No secrets or live deployment; human review is required, with no automatic production validation.
  • A paid subscription to an AI solution offering the features used, the organisation’s authorisation for third-party tools, and the actual accounts and access rights.

To prepare before the session

  • Compatible Codex account and authorised demonstration environment; verify repository, terminal, tests and connectors with least privilege. No secrets or live deployment; human review is required, with no automatic production validation.

What you will work on

  1. Mapping the Process and Scoping Permissions

    Identifying a target business process (e.g., weekly report generation)

  2. Configuring Safe Connections

    Understanding Codex plugins and MCP connections

  3. Implementing Sandbox Modes and Approval Policies

    Using 'read-only' and 'workspace-write' sandbox modes for security

  4. Building and Testing the End-to-End Workflow

    Assembling the components into a single automated task

  5. Simulate an incident in the connected process

    On an authorised demonstration connection, simulate an empty response, access denial and malformed data; read logs and identify the stopping point.

  6. Verify safeguards and hand over the process

    Test manual stopping, least privilege and scenario replay; distinguish demonstration success from required pre-production validation.

What you take away

  • A documented workflow for a secure, automated business process.
  • A configuration plan for Codex permissions and connectors.
  • A checklist for implementing AI automation with least-privilege principles.

Method and assessment

  • Demonstration of available features, guided exercises and an independent case.
  • Peer review of the deliverable and correction against original sources.

The participant presents the stated deliverable, justifies sources and permissions, identifies and corrects an error and explains limitations. Assessment rubric: accuracy, traceability, access control and handover to a colleague.
