Secrets exposure response agent blueprint.

Build an exposure timeline, affected-resource list, and rotation plan without copying secret values into artifacts.

01 · the contract

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

trigger

A secret scanner or operator reports exposed credential material.

owner

security owner

agent stops at

A credential owner approves revocation, rotation, and dependent-service rollout.

KPI · decrease

time to approved rotation plan (minutes). Measure detection to owner-approved rotation sequence.

inputs

Evidence the run may read

  • Redacted finding metadata
  • Resource and owner inventory
  • Access and deployment timestamps
outputs

Artifacts the run must produce

  • Exposure timeline
  • Affected resource map
  • Rotation and validation checklist
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 secrets exposure response inputs.

  2. 02

    exposure analyst

    Produce the exposure timeline.

  3. 03

    resource mapper

    Produce the affected resource map.

  4. 04

    response reviewer

    Challenge the secrets exposure response result and prepare an approval packet.

  5. 05

    security owner

    A credential owner approves revocation, rotation, and dependent-service rollout.

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/secrets-exposure-response/inputs/**

Read only the evidence attached to this workflow instance.

write-output

case outputs

workspace/security/secrets-exposure-response/outputs/**

Write drafts and evidence artifacts without modifying source records.

invoke-scoped-tool

approved tools

security:secrets-exposure-response:read-or-propose

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

required human decision

A credential owner approves revocation, rotation, and dependent-service rollout.

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

    No raw secret is persisted, and every affected resource has an owner and validation step.

    No raw secret is persisted, and every affected resource has an owner and validation step.

  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.

The credential fingerprint cannot be matched to an owner or consuming service.

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.
