AI Incident Responder
Response that is governed, previewable, and reversible
Response playbooks are DAGs of governed actions. The respond agent executes them under guardrails you set — and shows you the plan before anything runs.
How it works
Dry-run first
Every workflow can run in dry-run mode, reporting per node what would execute, what would require approval, and what would be blocked.
Guardrails in the engine
Blast-radius limits, irreversible-action approval gates, autonomy grants per action class, and the tenant kill switch are enforced by the engine itself — not by convention.
Rollback state
Reversible actions record their pre-state, so containment can be undone as cleanly as it was applied.
Key capabilities
Approval gates
Confirmation nodes and approval requirements pause the DAG for a human decision.
Review-gated writes
Workflows with write actions must pass review before live execution.
Idempotent actions
Actions carry idempotency keys so retries never double-execute.
What security leaders say
“Attack-chain reconstruction turned a 4-hour investigation into a 10-minute review. The case arrives already assembled.”
Victor Nkemelu
Incident Response Lead, Vantagrid
“The triage agent closed 80% of our queue with verdicts we could actually audit. My tier-1 analysts now do tier-3 work.”
Maya Lindqvist
CISO, Northwind Bank
“Dry-run workflows sold our change board on automated response. We see exactly what would happen before granting autonomy.”
Daniel Okafor
VP Security Operations, Cobalt Health
Respond Agent agent: frequently asked questions
What does the Respond Agent agent do?
Response playbooks are DAGs of governed actions. The respond agent executes them under guardrails you set — and shows you the plan before anything runs. It operates as the AI Incident Responder inside ManySignal's agentic SOC and MDR platform.
How is the Respond Agent agent governed?
Like every ManySignal agent, it runs under the autonomy ladder: recommend-only, approve-gated, or autonomous per action class, with dry-run previews and a tenant kill switch.
Can I audit the Respond Agent agent's decisions?
Yes. Every question it answers, every verdict, and every action is recorded on an immutable case timeline with evidence weights.
Does it work with my existing stack?
Yes. Declarative connectors normalise telemetry from cloud, identity, endpoint, and code sources into the entity graph the agent reasons over.
