Atomic Runbook: Get URL Threat Intel via SecOps MCP
ID: RB-ATOM-URL-002
Version: 1.0
Last_Updated: 2025-05-30
Purpose: To retrieve general threat intelligence about a URL using the Chronicle secops-mcp get_threat_intel tool. This is often used for broader context or as an alternative if specialized URL analysis tools are inconclusive.
Parent_Runbook(s)/Protocol(s): rules-bank/indicator_handling_protocols.md#url-indicator, rb_url_get_gti_report.md (as potential next step)
Trigger: When a URL requires external threat intelligence, possibly after a GTI check, or if narrative context is desired.
Inputs Required
url: string - The URL to query.
- Source Example: Alert data, output from other tools.
gti_confidence (optional): string - Confidence from a preceding GTI check (e.g., "Unknown_Reputation_GTI").
Execution Steps
- Tool Selection:
- Primary_Tool_MCP_Server:
secops-mcp
- Primary_Tool_Name:
get_threat_intel
- Parameter Mapping:
- Construct query:
query: "Provide threat intelligence summary for URL {url}"
- Execute Tool: Call
get_threat_intel with the query.
- AI Agent Note: Refer to
rules-bank/mcp_tool_best_practices.md.
- Data Transformation/Extraction:
- Output is textual. AI may parse for keywords.
Outputs Expected
secops_ti_summary: string - Textual threat intelligence summary.
identified_keywords: list (optional) - Keywords extracted by AI (e.g., "phishing link", "malware download", "benign redirect").
output_status: string - ["Success", "Failure"]
output_message: string (if Failure).
Decision Logic / Next Steps (If Applicable)
- IF
output_status is "Success":
- IF
secops_ti_summary contains "known malicious URL", "phishing page", "drive-by download" THEN
- Flag URL as "High_Risk_SecOpsTI".
- Consider proceeding to containment or escalation.
- ELSE IF
secops_ti_summary contains "suspicious redirect", "adware-related", "potential risk" OR (gti_confidence was "Unknown_Reputation_GTI" AND summary is not explicitly benign) THEN
- Flag URL as "Medium_Risk_SecOpsTI_Needs_Correlation".
- Proceed to
rb_url_search_chronicle.md.
- ELSE
- Flag URL as "Low_Risk_SecOpsTI" (or "Info_Only_SecOpsTI").
- Proceed to
rb_url_search_chronicle.md.
- ELSE (
output_status is "Failure"):
- Log error:
output_message.
- Escalate: "Failed to retrieve SecOps threat intelligence for URL {url}."
AI Agent Execution Notes
- AI should perform NLP on
secops_ti_summary for identified_keywords.
- Context from
gti_confidence should inform interpretation.
Metrics Collection Points
- Log execution time.
- Log
output_status.
