Compare GTI Collection to IoCs, Events in SecOps

From a GTI Collection (could be a Private Collection as well), search the past 3 days for any UDM events containing:

1. Indicators of Compromise

2. IOC++ (Modeled behvaioral data) (Would need to interpret relevant UDM fields)

3. Get Chronicle SIEM IoC Matches (get_ioc_matches)

4. Produce report on findings

5. Add report to SOAR Case

Analyze results and compare against GTI Collection context (report or campaign). (Optional) Notable indicators are added to SQLite Table. Provide analyst report with prescribed follow on response actions.

Uses tools:

• gti-mcp_get_collection_report

• secops-mcp_get_ioc_matches

• secops-mcp_search_security_events

• secops-mcp_get_security_alerts

• gti-mcp_* (various lookups like get_file_report, get_entities_related_to_a_collection, get_collection_mitre_tree, etc.)

• (Optional) Add to SQLite Table

• soar-mcp_post_case_comment

• soar-mcp_list_cases (Optional, for finding existing case)

## Rubrics

The following rubric is used to evaluate the execution of this **Triage/Response** runbook by an LLM agent.

### Grading Scale (0-100 Points)

| Criteria | Points | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Context & Enrichment** | 25 | Correctly extracted entities and enriched them with relevant context (GTI, SIEM). |
| **Analysis & Decision** | 25 | Analyzed the enriched data to make a sound decision (FP/TP, Escalate/Close). |
| **Action Execution** | 20 | Performed the required response actions (e.g., isolation, containment) correctly. |
| **Documentation** | 15 | Clearly documented findings and actions in the case/ticket. |
| **Operational Artifacts** | 15 | Produced required artifacts: Sequence diagram, execution metadata (date/cost), and summary. |

### Evaluation Criteria Details

#### 1. Context & Enrichment (25 Points)
- **10 pts**: Accurately extracted key entities (IPs, users, hashes) from the input.
- **15 pts**: Performed necessary enrichment (e.g., `enrich_ioc`) to gather reputation and history.

#### 2. Analysis & Decision (25 Points)
- **15 pts**: Interpreted the context correctly to determine the nature of the alert.
- **10 pts**: Reached a logical conclusion or next step (e.g., "Escalate to Tier 2" or "Isolate Host").

#### 3. Action Execution (20 Points)
- **10 pts**: Called the correct tools to perform response actions (if applicable) or investigative steps.
- **10 pts**: Verified the success of actions or handled errors appropriately.

#### 4. Documentation (15 Points)
- **15 pts**: Posted a comprehensive comment or update to the SOAR case summarizing the triage.

#### 5. Operational Artifacts (15 Points)
- **5 pts**: **Sequence Diagram**: Produced a Mermaid sequence diagram visualizing the steps taken.
- **5 pts**: **Execution Metadata**: Recorded the date, duration, and estimated token cost.
- **5 pts**: **Summary Report**: Generated a concise summary of the actions and outcomes.
