Phishing investigation packet agent blueprint.

Analyze sanitized message, sender, link, and user-report evidence into a bounded disposition and response checklist.

01 · the contract

Start from a bounded job, not a blank chat box.

trigger

A user or security control submits a suspected phishing event.

owner

security owner

agent stops at

A security responder approves blocking, takedown, or account containment actions.

KPI · decrease

phishing disposition time (minutes). Measure report submission to reviewed disposition.

inputs

Evidence the run may read

  • Sanitized message headers and body
  • Link and attachment analysis
  • Recipient and report metadata
outputs

Artifacts the run must produce

  • Evidence timeline
  • Maliciousness assessment
  • Containment proposal
02 · topology

Small specialists. Named handoffs. One accountable decision.

Each stage produces an artifact another stage can inspect. The final node is a person, not an autonomous write to an external system.

  1. 01

    intake

    Validate and normalize the phishing investigation packet inputs.

  2. 02

    message analyst

    Produce the evidence timeline.

  3. 03

    indicator correlator

    Produce the maliciousness assessment.

  4. 04

    incident reviewer

    Challenge the phishing investigation packet result and prepare an approval packet.

  5. 05

    security owner

    A security responder approves blocking, takedown, or account containment actions.

03 · authority

Grant the run only what this case needs.

Source material is read-only. Drafts land in a case-specific output path. Tools may read or propose; the human gate owns the external write.

read

case inputs

workspace/security/phishing-investigation-packet/inputs/**

Read only the evidence attached to this workflow instance.

write-output

case outputs

workspace/security/phishing-investigation-packet/outputs/**

Write drafts and evidence artifacts without modifying source records.

invoke-scoped-tool

approved tools

security:phishing-investigation-packet:read-or-propose

Invoke only tools explicitly granted for this run; external writes remain gated.

required human decision

A security responder approves blocking, takedown, or account containment actions.

Decision owner: security owner.

04 · implementation

A private, bounded starting manifest.

The blueprint starts private, caps its DAG, disables replanning, and exposes no public endpoint. Add only the tools and data adapters this workflow has approved.

05 · acceptance test

Pass only with evidence.

  1. 01

    Evidence traceability

    Every material conclusion cites an input artifact or a scoped tool result from this run.

  2. 02

    The disposition distinguishes verified indicators, reputation signals, and analyst inference.

    The disposition distinguishes verified indicators, reputation signals, and analyst inference.

  3. 03

    Approval boundary

    The run stops at a proposal and records the human decision before any external side effect.

failure containment

Stop small. Preserve the evidence.

Attachments or headers cannot be safely inspected within the granted evidence set.

Containment: Return a partial result with unresolved items; do not broaden scope or perform an external write.

Operator: Attach the missing evidence, narrow the brief, or explicitly approve a new scoped run.

A required input or tool grant is unavailable.

Containment: Stop the affected branch and preserve completed artifacts in the case output workspace.

Operator: Grant only the missing resource or continue with that branch marked out of scope.

06 · proof

Sign the run facts. Keep money in the billing ledger.

Current platform receipts sign caller identity or classification, skill, bounded input evidence, verified grant IDs when present, outcome or result preview, and timing. Optional file, tool, artifact, handoff, evaluation, and review fields require separate instrumentation and are not populated by default. Price, fees, payouts, and later human approvals remain separate platform records.

The example uses only fields populated by the current platform sealing paths. It is illustrative, not a record of a real customer run.

put the pattern to work

Start private. Scope the authority. Require the decision.

Deploy the workflow as a bounded internal agent, verify its outputs and the receipt fields actually emitted, then expand only the scopes your acceptance test proves it needs.
