Project-Agent repo-root DEMO_QUICK_START.md

Get the full demo running in ~5 minutes (after you have Supabase credentials)

---

Prerequisites

✓ Python 3.10+ ✓ Node.js 18+ ✓ Supabase account with project created ✓ Internet connection

---

1. Clone & Navigate

``bash cd /home/user/Project-Agent ``

---

2. Run Automated Setup

```bash

This installs all dependencies and configures everything

bash SETUP_DEMO_ENVIRONMENT.sh ```

What it does:

✓ Installs Python dependencies (FastAPI, Supabase SDK, etc.)
✓ Creates .env file from template
✓ Installs Node.js frontend dependencies
✓ Creates frontend/.env.local from template
✓ Seeds demo data to your Supabase project
✓ Validates all connections

---

3. Configure Your Credentials

When prompted by the setup script, edit these files:

Backend Configuration

File: arxsec-api/.env

```bash

Edit with your Supabase details

SUPABASE_URL=https://YOUR_PROJECT.supabase.co SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=YOUR_ANON_KEY SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=YOUR_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY # REQUIRED for seeding

Local dev settings

ARXSEC_ENV=development ARXSEC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000 REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379 ```

Get your credentials:

Log in to supabase.com
Select your project
Go to Settings → API
Copy the keys

Frontend Configuration

File: arxsec-api/frontend/.env.local

```bash

Must match your Supabase project

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://YOUR_PROJECT.supabase.co NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=YOUR_ANON_KEY

Backend URL (localhost for local development)

NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000 ```

---

4. Start the Demo

Terminal 1 - Backend API

``bash cd arxsec-api python main.py ``

Expected output: `` INFO: Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000 INFO: arxsec.api.startup, env=development ``

✓ API is ready when you see these messages.

Terminal 2 - Frontend (new terminal)

``bash cd arxsec-api/frontend npm run dev ``

Expected output: `` Local: http://localhost:3000 ``

✓ Frontend is ready when you see this.

Terminal 3 - Open Browser (new terminal)

```bash open http://localhost:3000 # macOS

or on Linux:

xdg-open http://localhost:3000 ```

---

Filters: action type, status, connector
Export options (CSV, JSON, PDF)

🔐 Policies Page

15 policy rules with:
Rule type (allow/deny/escalate)
Risk threshold
Approval channel
Agent scope

---

6. CISO Demo Script

Total Time: ~10 minutes

Slide 1: Agent Governance (2 min)

Navigate to: Agents page

"Here we see 10 deployed agents. Each agent declares its intent upfront:

What systems it can connect to (CrowdStrike, Jira, Slack, etc.)
What actions it can perform (read/write/execute)
What data it can access

This is the foundation of our governance model."

Slide 2: Policy Controls (2 min)

Navigate to: Policies page

"ARXsec enforces 15 policies:

Allow rules: Unrestricted access for safe operations
Deny rules: Hard blocks (e.g., 'no network policy changes without manual review')
Escalate rules: High-risk actions require approval

Each policy is tied to specific agents and risk thresholds."

Slide 3: Approval Workflows (3 min)

Navigate to: Approvals page

"When an agent attempts a high-risk action, ARXsec escalates for human review:

This pending request: Host containment (risk: 85%) — awaiting approval
This approved request: Ransomware response — approved in 7 minutes
This denied request: User deactivation — rejected as false positive

Every action is logged. Nothing happens without visibility."

Slide 4: Real-Time Audit (2 min)

Navigate to: Audit page

"Every single action by every agent is logged:

Policy evaluation result (PERMIT / DENY / ESCALATE)
Duration (milliseconds)
Risk score
Exact timestamp

This is your audit trail for SOC 2, ISO 27001, compliance frameworks."

Slide 5: Compliance Evidence (1 min)

Optional — if compliance page available

"For your next audit:

SOC 2 Type II: CC6.1 (Logical access), CC7.1 (Change management), CC8.1 (Incident response)
ISO 27001: A.9.2 (User access), A.12.4.1 (Event logging), A.13.2.3 (Segregation)

Every control is mapped to real agent actions."

Troubleshooting

"API Connection Refused"

```bash

Make sure API is running (Terminal 1)

cd arxsec-api && python main.py

Check if port 8000 is available

lsof -i :8000

If port is in use, kill it: kill -9 <PID>

```

"No data in dashboard"

```bash

1. Check that .env credentials are correct

grep SUPABASE_URL arxsec-api/.env

2. Verify demo data was seeded

python -c " from supabase import create_client import os os.chdir('arxsec-api') from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv() db = create_client(os.getenv('SUPABASE_URL'), os.getenv('SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY')) print(f'Agents: {db.table(\"agents\").select(\"*\", count=\"exact\").execute().count}') print(f'Approvals: {db.table(\"approval_requests\").select(\"*\", count=\"exact\").execute().count}') "

3. Re-run seeding if empty

cd arxsec-api && python demo/seed_demo_data.py ```

"Network tab shows 404 errors"

```bash

1. Check frontend API URL is correct

grep NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL arxsec-api/frontend/.env.local

2. Make sure it matches your API server:

http://localhost:8000 for local dev

https://api.arxsec.io for production

3. Rebuild frontend

cd arxsec-api/frontend && npm run build ```

"Supabase connection error"

```bash

1. Verify credentials are correct (no "your-xxx" placeholders)

cat arxsec-api/.env | grep SUPABASE

2. Test connection directly

python -c " from supabase import create_client db = create_client('https://YOUR_PROJECT.supabase.co', 'YOUR_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY') db.table('agents').select('*', count='exact').execute() print('✓ Connected!') "

3. If still failing, check:

- Project is not paused (check supabase.com dashboard)

- Network has internet connectivity

- API keys are correct (copy-paste from supabase.com)

```
