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

Procedure

  1. Navigate to Security > Overview > Contained AI Agents.

Field

Description

Status

The current state of the operation. Possible values are:- Completed — The operation succeeded on every configured enforcement point. If the agent was deactivated, it was deactivated on its runtime platform. Also, if an identity provider is configured, its session tokens were revoked and no new access tokens are issued. If the agent was reinstated, access was restored on every configured enforcement point.

  • Failed — The containment or reinstatement operation didn't take effect on any configured enforcement point. Failed to deactivate or reinstate agent on all configured enforcement points or skipped them (for example, agent not found, subflow error, or an unhandled exception).
  • In progress — The operation is actively executing. Control enforcement point (CEP) subflows (for example, AWS Bedrock) are running, with audit log information being captured.
  • Partial — The operation succeeded on at least one control enforcement point and failed on at least one point. For example, the AWS Bedrock AI agent deactivation succeeded, but the Okta token revocation failed.
