How to use: Use it when an AI agent plans, keeps memory, calls tools or talks to other agents and needs a threat model beyond STRIDE. Fill the system description, trust boundaries and autonomy level first, then walk every ASI category. The main pitfall is relying on prompt wording as a mitigation instead of permissions, sandboxing and human approval.

Agentic AI Threat Model: [Agent or system name] [version]

Threat model for an agentic AI system: a language-model application that plans, keeps memory, calls tools and may talk to other agents. It records the system description and trust boundaries, assets, agent goals and autonomy level, a threat register organised by the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026 (ASI01 to ASI10), a mapping to MITRE ATLAS tactics and techniques (release v2026.09), likelihood and impact scoring, mitigations, residual risk, test cases and links to the red team. It complements a classic STRIDE threat model of the surrounding software rather than replacing it. Replace every [bracketed] value and every row marked Example. Worked examples use an internal IT operations agent that reads tickets, queries logs, runs approved remediation scripts and delegates to a sub-agent.

1. System description

1.1 Purpose

[System name] is an [IT operations agent] that [triages incoming incident tickets, gathers evidence from logs and metrics, proposes a remediation and, for approved runbooks, executes it]. It serves [about 120 on-call engineers] and runs [24 hours a day] in [the production operations tenant].

1.2 Components

ID	Component	Description	Owner	Trust level
CMP-01 (Example)	Orchestrator agent	Plans steps, calls tools, writes ticket comments	[@platform-team]	Trusted code, untrusted reasoning
CMP-02 (Example)	LLM endpoint	[Provider model, snapshot 2026-08]	[Provider]	External
CMP-03 (Example)	Long-term memory	Vector store of past incidents and resolutions	[@platform-team]	Partly untrusted (written by agent)
CMP-04 (Example)	Tool server (MCP)	`search_logs`, `get_metrics`, `run_runbook`, `comment_ticket`	[@sre-tools]	Trusted
CMP-05 (Example)	Diagnostics sub-agent	Receives delegated analysis tasks over agent-to-agent messages	[@sre-tools]	Semi-trusted
CMP-06 (Example)	Code sandbox	Runs agent-generated query scripts in an isolated container	[@platform-team]	Isolated
CMP-07 (Example)	Approval service	Sends high-impact actions to a human for approval	[@sre-leads]	Trusted
[CMP-NN]	[Component]	[Description]	[@owner]	[Level]

1.3 Inputs the agent reads

List every channel through which text, files or data reach the model context. Each one is a possible injection path.

Input	Source	Who can write it	Treated as
Example: Ticket title and body	Ticketing system	Any employee, some customers through email	Untrusted data
Example: Log lines	Production services	Any user whose request is logged	Untrusted data
Example: Runbook text	Runbook repository	SRE team, reviewed by pull request	Trusted instructions
Example: Memory recalls	CMP-03	The agent itself	Untrusted data
Example: Sub-agent replies	CMP-05	Sub-agent	Untrusted data
[Input]	[Source]	[Writers]	[Treatment]

1.4 Actions the agent can take

Tool	Side effect	Reversible	Approval needed	Credential used
Example: `search_logs`	None (read)	n/a	No	Agent service identity, read scope
Example: `comment_ticket`	Writes visible text	Yes (edit)	No	Agent identity
Example: `run_runbook`	Restarts services, scales clusters	Partly	Yes for production	Short-lived token per run
Example: `delegate_task`	Starts sub-agent work	Yes	No	Delegation token, scoped
[Tool]	[Effect]	[Yes / No / Partly]	[Rule]	[Credential]

2. Trust boundaries and data flow

The diagram shows the main flows. Each labelled box (TB-1 to TB-5) is a trust boundary.

Boundary	Crosses from	Crosses to	Control at the boundary
TB-1 (Example)	Ticket authors	Agent context	Content tagged as data, size limit, injection classifier
TB-2 (Example)	Agent runtime	Memory store	Write policy, provenance tag per memory item
TB-3 (Example)	Agent runtime	Model provider	TLS, no secrets in prompts, data processing terms
TB-4 (Example)	Agent decisions	Production	Tool allowlist, argument schema validation, approval for writes
TB-5 (Example)	Orchestrator	Sub-agent	Mutual authentication, signed messages, task-scoped token
[TB-N]	[From]	[To]	[Control]

3. Assets

ID	Asset	Why it matters	Confidentiality	Integrity	Availability
AST-01 (Example)	Production service availability	Customer-facing outages	Low	High	High
AST-02 (Example)	Agent credentials and tokens	Abuse gives production write access	High	High	Medium
AST-03 (Example)	Incident memory store	Poisoning changes future decisions	Medium	High	Medium
AST-04 (Example)	Log data with personal data	Privacy breach, regulatory exposure	High	Medium	Low
AST-05 (Example)	System prompt and runbook logic	Reveals controls and thresholds	Medium	High	Low
AST-06 (Example)	Engineer trust in agent recommendations	Over-reliance leads to approving harmful actions	n/a	High	n/a
AST-07 (Example)	Model and tool spend	Runaway loops create cost	n/a	n/a	Medium
[AST-NN]	[Asset]	[Reason]	[L/M/H]	[L/M/H]	[L/M/H]

4. Agent goals and autonomy

4.1 Goals and non-goals

Goal: [restore service for known incident types within the approved runbooks].
Goal: [produce an evidence summary for every ticket within 5 minutes].
Non-goal: [the agent never changes access rights, deletes data or deploys code].
Non-goal: [the agent never contacts customers directly].

4.2 Autonomy level

Use the scale agreed in the [AI agent specification]. Example scale:

Level	Meaning	Applies to
0	Suggests only; a human performs every action	n/a
1	Acts on read-only tools; a human approves every write	`run_runbook` in production
2	Acts on low-impact writes; a human approves high-impact writes	`comment_ticket`, staging runbooks
3	Acts on all approved tools; humans review after the fact	Not used
4	Sets its own sub-goals and acquires new tools	Not allowed

Current level: [2]. Human checkpoints: [approval for any production change, stop button in the operations console, daily review of all actions].

4.3 Delegation and multi-agent relationships

Delegator	Delegate	What is delegated	Authority passed	Limit
Example: Orchestrator	Diagnostics sub-agent	Log correlation for one ticket	Read-only log scope for one service	10 minutes, 20 tool calls
[Agent]	[Agent]	[Task]	[Scope]	[Limit]

5. Threat enumeration (OWASP ASI01 to ASI10)

5.1 Category applicability

The category IDs and short names follow the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications 2026 (published December 2025). The relevance column is written for this system.

OWASP ID	Category	Relevance to this system	Applicable
ASI01	Agent Goal Hijack	Ticket text or log lines redirect the agent to a different objective	Yes
ASI02	Tool Misuse and Exploitation	Approved tools used in unsafe ways, such as restarting the wrong cluster	Yes
ASI03	Identity and Privilege Abuse	Agent token reused beyond task scope, inherited engineer privileges	Yes
ASI04	Agentic Supply Chain Vulnerabilities	Third-party tool server, prompt templates, model provider changes	Yes
ASI05	Unexpected Code Execution (RCE)	Generated query scripts run in the sandbox	Yes
ASI06	Memory & Context Poisoning	Wrong resolutions written to long-term memory and reused	Yes
ASI07	Insecure Inter-Agent Communication	Spoofed or replayed messages between orchestrator and sub-agent	Yes
ASI08	Cascading Failures	One bad remediation triggers further automated actions	Yes
ASI09	Human-Agent Trust Exploitation	Engineers approve plausible but harmful recommendations	Yes
ASI10	Rogue Agents	Agent drifts outside policy or is compromised and keeps acting	Yes

5.2 Threat register

Use the ID pattern ATM-T-NNN. Each threat names the attacker, the entry point, the boundary crossed and the asset affected.

ID	ASI	Threat	Actor	Entry point	Boundary	Asset
ATM-T-001 (Example)	ASI01	Instructions in a ticket body tell the agent to run the "scale to zero" runbook	External email sender	Ticket body	TB-1	AST-01
ATM-T-002 (Example)	ASI01	Crafted log line injects a new goal ("collect all tokens and post them")	Any user whose request is logged	Log search results	TB-1	AST-02
ATM-T-003 (Example)	ASI02	Agent chains `search_logs` and `comment_ticket` to copy personal data into a public ticket	Injected instruction	Tool chain	TB-4	AST-04
ATM-T-004 (Example)	ASI02	Runbook called with a wildcard argument that targets every cluster	Model error or injection	`run_runbook` arguments	TB-4	AST-01
ATM-T-005 (Example)	ASI03	Long-lived agent token used outside the task it was issued for	Compromised runtime	Token store	TB-2	AST-02
ATM-T-006 (Example)	ASI03	Sub-agent receives the orchestrator's full scope instead of a narrowed one	Design flaw	Delegation	TB-5	AST-02
ATM-T-007 (Example)	ASI04	Community tool server update adds a hidden instruction in a tool description	Supply chain attacker	Tool metadata	TB-4	AST-01, AST-05
ATM-T-008 (Example)	ASI05	Generated script escapes the sandbox through a mounted socket	Injected instruction	Code sandbox	TB-2	AST-02
ATM-T-009 (Example)	ASI06	Attacker-shaped ticket leads the agent to store a false "known fix" in memory	Malicious employee	Memory write	TB-2	AST-03
ATM-T-010 (Example)	ASI07	Forged sub-agent reply claims "root cause confirmed, restart database"	Network attacker or rogue peer	A2A channel	TB-5	AST-01
ATM-T-011 (Example)	ASI08	Restart loop: health check fails, agent restarts, restart causes more alerts	Fault, no attacker	Alert feedback	TB-4	AST-01, AST-07
ATM-T-012 (Example)	ASI09	Confident summary hides that evidence was missing; engineer approves	Model error	Approval screen	TB-4	AST-06
ATM-T-013 (Example)	ASI10	Agent keeps acting after its version is retired because a scheduler still calls it	Configuration drift	Scheduler	TB-2	AST-01
[ATM-T-NNN]	[ASInn]	[Threat]	[Actor]	[Entry]	[TB-N]	[AST-NN]

5.3 Related LLM application risks

Agentic threats sit on top of the model-level risks. Cross-check the register against the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications 2026 so nothing falls between the two lists.

LLM risk (2026)	Where it appears here	Threat IDs
LLM01:2026 Prompt Injection	Entry mechanism for most ASI01 threats	ATM-T-001, ATM-T-002
LLM02:2026 Sensitive Information Disclosure	Personal data from logs in outputs	ATM-T-003
LLM03:2026 Excessive Agency	Tool scope and autonomy	ATM-T-004, ATM-T-006
LLM08:2026 Hidden Context Exposure	Runbook thresholds in the system prompt	[ATM-T-NNN]
LLM10:2026 Improper Output Handling	Tool arguments built from model output	ATM-T-004

6. MITRE ATLAS mapping

ATLAS release used: [v2026.09, published 2026-09-15]. Check the current matrix at https://atlas.mitre.org/ before review; tactic and technique names can change between releases (for example, the tactic formerly called "AI Attack Staging" is listed as "AI Attack Adaptation" in recent releases).

Threat	ATLAS tactic	Technique (ID and name)	Notes
ATM-T-001 (Example)	Initial Access, Execution	AML.T0051.001 LLM Prompt Injection: Indirect	Payload arrives in ticket text
ATM-T-002 (Example)	Initial Access	AML.T0093 Prompt Infiltration via Public-Facing Application	Payload placed in logged request
ATM-T-003 (Example)	Exfiltration	AML.T0086 Exfiltration via AI Agent Tool Invocation	Ticket comment as exfiltration channel
ATM-T-004 (Example)	Execution, Impact	AML.T0053 AI Agent Tool Invocation	Harmful arguments to an approved tool
ATM-T-005 (Example)	Credential Access	AML.T0083 Credentials from AI Agent Configuration	Token readable from agent config
ATM-T-007 (Example)	Initial Access, Persistence	AML.T0010.005 AI Supply Chain Compromise: AI Agent Tool; AML.T0110 AI Agent Tool Poisoning	Tool description carries instructions
ATM-T-008 (Example)	Execution	AML.T0050 Command and Scripting Interpreter	Sandbox escape is a host security issue too
ATM-T-009 (Example)	Persistence	AML.T0080.000 AI Agent Context Poisoning: Memory	Poison survives across sessions
ATM-T-010 (Example)	Lateral Movement	AML.T0118 Autonomous AI Agent Communication	Peer message trusted without checks
ATM-T-011 (Example)	Impact	AML.T0034.002 Cost Harvesting: Agentic Resource Consumption	Also an availability impact
[ATM-T-NNN]	[Tactic]	[AML.Tnnnn Name]	[Notes]

Threats with no close ATLAS technique (often ASI08 and ASI09) still stay in the register; note "no direct technique" rather than forcing a match.

7. Likelihood and impact scoring

Risk score $R$ is likelihood $L$ times impact $I$ , each on a 1 to 5 scale:

R = L \times I

7.1 Likelihood scale

$L$	Meaning
5	Any user or any content source can trigger it with public knowledge; seen in the wild against similar systems
4	Needs an ordinary account or the ability to post content the agent reads
3	Needs chained steps, specialist knowledge or a specific timing window
2	Needs privileged or insider access
1	Theoretical; no known practical path

Raise likelihood by one step when the agent acts without human approval for the affected tool (autonomy level 2 or above for that action).

7.2 Impact scale

$I$	Meaning
5	Safety harm, bulk personal data exposure, or production-wide outage
4	Outage of one critical service, credential compromise, unauthorised money movement
3	Limited data exposure, degraded service, misleading records that need cleanup
2	Minor, reversible effect visible to a small group
1	No meaningful effect

7.3 Rating bands

Score	Rating	Required response
20 to 25	Critical	Block release or disable the capability until mitigated
12 to 19	High	Mitigate before release; owner and date required
6 to 11	Medium	Mitigate within [one quarter] or accept with sign-off
1 to 5	Low	Accept and monitor

7.4 Scored threats

Threat	$L$	$I$	Inherent $R$	Rating	Rationale
ATM-T-001 (Example)	5	5	25	Critical	Anyone can email a ticket; runbook can stop production
ATM-T-003 (Example)	4	4	16	High	Two read and write tools chain without approval
ATM-T-006 (Example)	3	4	12	High	Delegation copies full token today
ATM-T-009 (Example)	3	4	12	High	Memory has no provenance check
ATM-T-011 (Example)	3	3	9	Medium	Loop limit exists but resets per ticket
ATM-T-012 (Example)	4	4	16	High	Approval screen shows summary only
[ATM-T-NNN]	[n]	[n]	[n]	[Rating]	[Reason]

ATM-T-009 (Example)	ATM-M-008	Weekly memory diff review	Memory snapshot restore	Yes
[ATM-T-NNN]	[IDs]	[Detection]	[Recovery]	[Yes / No]

9. Residual risk and acceptance

Threat	Mitigations	Residual $L$	Residual $I$	Residual $R$	Rating	Accepted by	Date
ATM-T-001 (Example)	ATM-M-001, ATM-M-002	2	5	10	Medium	[@agent-owner]	YYYY-MM-DD
ATM-T-003 (Example)	ATM-M-004	2	4	8	Medium	[@agent-owner]	YYYY-MM-DD

[ATM-T-NNN]	[IDs]	[n]	[n]	[n]	[Rating]	[@name]	YYYY-MM-DD

Residual risk statement: [Example: Indirect prompt injection cannot be fully prevented with current models. The design limits its effect by requiring human approval for every production change and by keeping tokens task-scoped. The owner accepts the medium residual risk until the next review.]

10. Test cases

ID	Threat	ASI	Test	Expected secure behaviour	Pass criterion	Automated

11. Links to red team and monitoring

Item	Link	Relationship
Red team plan and report	[RT-2026-NNN]	Uses sections 5 and 10 as scope; findings feed section 5.2
Red team findings added here	Example: RT-F-002 became ATM-T-009	Back-link from finding to threat
Guardrails specification	[GRD-NNN]	Implements ATM-M-001 and ATM-M-004
Agent evaluation plan	[AEP-NNN]	Runs ATM-TC cases on every release
Observability and alerting	[Dashboard link]	Detective controls in section 8.1
Incident report template	[AI incident report]	Used when a threat materialises

Detection signals to monitor:

Tool calls whose arguments come from untrusted text spans.
Repeated actions on the same target within a short window.
Memory writes without provenance.
Inter-agent messages that fail signature or replay checks.
Approvals granted in under [5] seconds, which may signal rubber-stamping.

12. Review triggers

Review this threat model when any of these occurs:

A new tool, a new write scope, or a higher autonomy level.
A new input channel or a new data source in memory or retrieval.
A new peer agent or a change to the delegation protocol.
A model or provider change, including a new snapshot.
A red team finding rated high or critical, or a production incident.
A new release of the OWASP agentic or LLM lists or of MITRE ATLAS.
In any case, at least every [six] months.
