MITRE ATLAS 2026.09 / technique reference
AML.T0085.001
AI Agent Tools
MITRE source definition
Adversaries may prompt the AI service to invoke various tools the agent has access to. Tools may retrieve data from different APIs or services in an organization.

These are explicit source relationships, not independently reproduced incidents or validated detection coverage.
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.
