MITRE ATLAS 2026.09 / technique reference
AML.T0098
AI Agent Tool Credential Harvesting
MITRE source definition
Adversaries may attempt to use their access to an AI agent on the victim's system to retrieve data from available agent tools to collect credentials. Agent tools may connect to a wide range of sources that may contain credentials including document stores (e.g. SharePoint, OneDrive or Google Drive), code repositories (e.g. GitHub or GitLab), or enterprise productivity tools (e.g. as email providers or Slack), and local notetaking tools (e.g. Obsidian or Apple Notes).

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.
