MITRE ATLAS 2026.09 / technique reference
AML.T0101
Data Destruction via AI Agent Tool Invocation
MITRE source definition
Adversaries may invoke an AI agent's tool capable of performing mutative operations to perform Data Destruction. Adversaries may destroy data and files on specific systems or in large numbers on a network to interrupt availability to systems, services, and network resources.

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.
