| description | Creates MITRE ATT&CK Navigator layers and analyzes coverage. Use when generating coverage layers, gap analysis, threat actor comparisons, or checking detection coverage against ATT&CK. |
MITRE ATT&CK Coverage Analysis
⚡ ULTRA-FAST TOOLS (Use These!)
All queries use pre-computed denormalized tables - instant results, minimal tokens.
Quick Coverage Check (~200 bytes)
quick_coverage_check(group_id: "G0016", covered_ids: [...])
Returns: { covered: 45, gaps: 22, coverage_percent: 67%, top_gaps: [...] }
Batch Check Multiple Groups (ONE call)
batch_coverage_check(
group_ids: ["G0016", "G0032", "G0045"],
covered_ids: [...]
)
Get Common Groups (no search needed)
get_common_groups()
Returns top 20 groups by technique count - pre-computed, instant.
Lightweight ID Queries (indexed lookups)
get_technique_ids_by_tactic(tactic: "execution")
get_technique_ids_by_platform(platform: "Windows")
Returns just IDs - no full technique objects.
Layer Generation
Coverage Layer
generate_coverage_layer(covered_ids: [...], name: "My Coverage")
Threat Group Layer
generate_group_layer(group_id: "G0016", name: "APT29 TTPs")
Gap Layer
generate_gap_layer(covered_ids: [...], target_ids: [...], name: "Gap Analysis")
Efficient Workflows
"What's my coverage against APT29?" (2 calls max)
# Option 1: Just stats? ONE call!
quick_coverage_check(group_id: "G0016", covered_ids: your_ids)
# Option 2: Need layer? TWO calls
techs = get_group_techniques(group_id: "G0016")
layer = generate_gap_layer(covered_ids: your_ids, target_ids: techs, name: "vs APT29")
"Check multiple threat actors" (ONE call)
batch_coverage_check(
group_ids: ["G0016", "G0032", "G0045"],
covered_ids: your_ids
)
DON'T (heavy/slow)
list_techniques_by_tactic(...) # Returns full objects
search_groups(query: "APT") # When you know the ID
DO (fast/efficient)
get_technique_ids_by_tactic(...) # Just IDs, indexed
quick_coverage_check(...) # Pre-computed stats
get_common_groups() # No search needed
Database Optimizations
This MCP uses:
- Denormalized lookup tables for instant technique-tactic/platform queries
- Pre-computed group stats for instant group info
- Technique summaries for lightweight list operations
- Indexed foreign keys for fast joins
Result: ~10-100x faster than naive queries.
