Review the agent containment list
The agent containment list shows agents that were deactivated and reinstated for the instance manually with kill switch protocol or automatically by policy enforcement. You can view audit log information for each AI agent which can help you stay compliant with regulatory guidance and your business rules.
Before you begin
Role required: sn_ai_security.viewer to view the list, sn_ai_security.operator or sn_ai_governance.ai_steward to reinstate agents
