AML.T0006.003
Probe AI Agent Trigger Channels

MITRE source definition

Adversaries may send crafted inputs to potential public triggers, such as email addresses, webhooks, or messaging channels, to elicit a response that indicates an invocation of agentic activity. The nature of the response and its content can often reveal agent-managed accounts and expose the additional agentic attack surface. Identified triggers can be used to directly attack the agent.

Simulation and telemetry boundary

This is a technique reference page, not a runnable simulation. No ATLAS-specific telemetry mapping, local attack execution or detector validation is asserted. MITRE maturity describes its source evidence, not a 1200km lab result.

For broader context—not technique-specific control mappings—see AI Security, AI Security Course, and detection-validation methodology.
