Atomic Runbook: Get IP Address Reputation from GTI
ID: RB-ATOM-IP-001
Version: 1.0
Last_Updated: 2025-05-30
Purpose: To retrieve a comprehensive IP address analysis report from Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) to assess its reputation.
Parent_Runbook(s)/Protocol(s): rules-bank/indicator_handling_protocols.md#1-atomic-indicator-ip-address
Trigger: When an IP address requires an external reputation check as part of an investigation or triage process.
Inputs Required
ip_address: string - The IP address to query.
- Source Example: Alert field
source.ip, destination.ip, principal.ip, target.ip; Output from another runbook.
Execution Steps
- Tool Selection:
- Primary_Tool_MCP_Server:
Google Threat Intelligence MCP
- Primary_Tool_Name:
get_ip_address_report
- Parameter Mapping:
- Map
ip_address (Input) to MCP Tool parameter ip_address.
- Execute Tool: Call the
get_ip_address_report tool with the mapped ip_address.
- AI Agent Note: Refer to
rules-bank/mcp_tool_best_practices.md for specific guidance on GTI tools.
- Data Transformation/Extraction:
- The primary output is a JSON object. Key fields for initial assessment are typically found under
data.attributes.last_analysis_stats (especially malicious), data.attributes.categories, data.attributes.as_owner, and data.attributes.country.
Outputs Expected
gti_ip_report: JSON - The full JSON report from the GTI get_ip_address_report tool.
malicious_score: integer - The number of engines reporting the IP as malicious (extracted from gti_ip_report.data.attributes.last_analysis_stats.malicious).
harmless_score: integer - The number of engines reporting the IP as harmless (extracted from gti_ip_report.data.attributes.last_analysis_stats.harmless).
suspicious_score: integer - The number of engines reporting the IP as suspicious (extracted from gti_ip_report.data.attributes.last_analysis_stats.suspicious).
categories: list - List of categories assigned to the IP by GTI (e.g., "malware", "phishing").
as_owner: string - The AS owner of the IP.
country: string - The country associated with the IP.
output_status: string - ["Success", "Failure"]
output_message: string (if Failure) - Details of the issue (e.g., "API error", "Invalid IP format").
Decision Logic / Next Steps (If Applicable)
- IF
output_status is "Success":
- IF
malicious_score > 5 OR "malware" IN categories OR "phishing" IN categories THEN
- Flag IP as "High_Risk_GTI".
- Consider proceeding to containment-related runbooks or escalate immediately.
- ELSE IF
malicious_score > 0 OR suspicious_score > 0 THEN
- Flag IP as "Medium_Risk_GTI_Needs_Correlation".
- Proceed to further internal investigation runbooks (e.g.,
rb_ip_lookup_entity_chronicle.md).
- ELSE (low malicious/suspicious score)
- Flag IP as "Low_Risk_GTI".
- Proceed to further internal investigation runbooks.
- ELSE (
output_status is "Failure"):
- Log error:
output_message.
- Consider executing
rb_ip_get_secops_threat_intel.md as an alternative.
- IF alternative also fails, escalate to human analyst: "Failed to retrieve external reputation for IP {ip_address}."
AI Agent Execution Notes
- Ensure the input
ip_address is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
- If the GTI tool returns an error related to API quotas, log this and consider a retry strategy with backoff, or escalate if retries fail.
- The AI should parse the
gti_ip_report to extract the specific output parameters listed above.
Metrics Collection Points
- Log execution time for this runbook.
- Log
output_status, malicious_score, harmless_score, suspicious_score.
