Example Output: Security Risk Tool Automation Playbook
Inputs used
- Project context: an internal agent that can read tickets, GitHub issues, and customer documents
- Target audience: security engineers, platform owners, privacy teams
- Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
- Available tools and data: threat model template, SIEM, secret scanner, policy engine
- Desired depth: Production-ready
- Output tone: Clear operator memo
Generated Result
workflow map, tool schema, approval gates, and rollback plan
Current workflow
Start with the manual path that uses data flow diagrams. Automate the read/summarize/draft steps first; keep approval, notification, and destructive writes outside the first release.
Automation candidates
Start with the manual path that uses tool permissions. Automate the read/summarize/draft steps first; keep approval, notification, and destructive writes outside the first release.
Tool interfaces
Use secret scanner as the primary working surface. Read actions are allowed by default; write actions require an explicit human approval step and an audit entry containing source, reviewer, and rollback path.
Approval gates
Use security incidents as evidence, apply the constraint "prioritize exploitability", and explicitly note how the plan reduces unreviewed tool writes. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Failure recovery
Use data flow diagrams as evidence, apply the constraint "map each risk to a control", and explicitly note how the plan reduces prompt injection. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Implementation slices
Use tool permissions as evidence, apply the constraint "respect privacy boundaries", and explicitly note how the plan reduces credential leakage. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Recommended Decision
Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on data flow diagrams and tool permissions. Treat prompt injection as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable risk register, mitigations, and verification checklist with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.
Expected quality checks
- The result is specific to AI system threat modeling, prompt-injection review, data exposure risk, and incident readiness.
- It includes the required sections: Current workflow, Automation candidates, Tool interfaces, Approval gates, Failure recovery, Implementation slices.
- It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
- It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
- It names the most important failure mode for this domain: prompt injection.
Reuse note
Before copying the output into production work, replace all default variables with your real data and run a human review for high-impact decisions.
