ATLAS Technique Search
atlas_technique_searchSearch the MITRE ATLAS catalog for AI/ML attack techniques by keyword, tactic, or maturity to find techniques matching threat-model questions.
Instructions
Search the MITRE ATLAS catalog of AI/ML attack techniques by keyword, tactic, or maturity. Default response is SLIM (description truncated to 240 chars per row); pass include='full' for the verbose record. Pass exclude_id when chaining from atlas_technique_lookup to skip self in sibling-tactic searches. Use this to discover techniques matching a threat-model question, e.g. 'what techniques target LLM serving infrastructure?'. Drill into atlas_technique_lookup with any returned technique_id for the full description, ATT&CK bridge, and pivot hints. For broader cross-referencing: when a result has attack_reference_id, that bridges to D3FEND mitigations via d3fend_defense_for_attack. Free: 30/hr, Pro: 500/hr. Returns {query (echoed filters), total, results [{technique_id, name, description (truncated by default), tactics, inherited_tactics, maturity, attack_reference_id, subtechnique_of}], next_calls}.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max results to return. Range: 1-200. | |
| tactic | No | Filter by ATLAS tactic id, format 'AML.TA####'. Examples: 'AML.TA0002' (Reconnaissance), 'AML.TA0007' (ML Attack Staging). Omit for all tactics. | |
| include | No | Detail level. Default ('') returns slim records (description truncated to 240 chars; drill via atlas_technique_lookup for full text). Pass 'full' for full description on every row — large catalogs (167 techniques) can return ~100KB at full. | |
| keyword | No | Substring match against technique name + description (case-insensitive). Min 2 chars. Example: 'prompt injection', 'model evasion', 'poisoning'. Omit to list all. | |
| maturity | No | Filter by maturity: 'demonstrated' (observed in real attacks), 'feasible' (theoretical), or 'realized' (newer ATLAS classification, treat similar to demonstrated). Omit for all. | |
| exclude_id | No | Optional ATLAS technique id to exclude from results, format 'AML.T####' or 'AML.T####.###'. Useful when chaining from atlas_technique_lookup to fetch siblings without echoing self in the same-tactic search. |
