Assess (Phase 1)
The Assess phase establishes baseline trust by evaluating the agent's inherent risk. This is primarily configured at agent creation and can be updated as capabilities change.
Access via Agent Detail → Assess tab.
Risk Profile Configuration
The Risk Profile evaluates risk across three categories:
Categories
- Base Security (5 params, 25%)
- AI-Specific (5 params, 45%)
- Impact (4 params, 30%)
Parameters
- Base Security:
attack_vector,attack_complexity,privileges_required,user_interaction,scope - AI-Specific:
model_robustness,data_sensitivity,ethical_impact,decision_criticality,adaptability - Impact:
confidentiality_impact,integrity_impact,availability_impact,safety_impact
Risk Profiles
Pre-configured profiles simplify Risk Profile setup:
| Risk Tier | Risk Level | Risk Profile Score | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Low | 0% – 24% | Read-only, public data access |
| Tier 2 | Medium | 25% – 49% | Internal data, non-critical actions |
| Tier 3 | High | 50% – 74% | PII, financial data, critical actions |
| Tier 4 | Critical | 75% – 100% | System admin, destructive actions |
Viewing Current Assessment
The Assess tab shows:
Predicted Trust Tier
The Assess tab displays the Predicted Trust Tier card with:
- Sub-scores for each Risk Profile category (shown as weighted contributions):
- Base Security (out of 0.25)
- AI-Specific (out of 0.45)
- Impact (out of 0.30)
- Risk Profile Score — the combined score out of 100
- Trust Score Calculation — shows how the Risk Profile score feeds into the overall Trust Score:
- Risk Profile × 40%
- Behavioral (Initial) × 35%
- Alignment (Initial) × 25%
- Trust Score and Trust Tier classification
Risk Profile Category Breakdown
A detailed breakdown of how the trust score is calculated across weighted categories:
- Base Security (25%): attack surface and classic security factors
- AI-Specific Risk (45%): model behavior, sensitivity, and criticality
- Impact Assessment (30%): confidentiality, integrity, availability, and safety impact
Trust Score Impact
Example from the UI (low-risk agent):
Base Security: 0.00 / 0.25
AI-Specific: 0.05 / 0.45
Impact: 0.00 / 0.30
Risk Profile Score: 98 / 100
Trust Score Calculation:
Risk Profile: 98 × 40% = 39.2
Behavioral (Initial): 100 × 35% = 35.0
Alignment (Initial): 100 × 25% = 25.0
─────────────────────────────────
Trust Score: 99.2 → TIER 1
New agents start with 100% behavioral and alignment scores. Trust tier may decrease based on runtime violations and goal drift.
Assessment History
Timeline of Risk Profile changes with:
- Change date
- Previous vs. new values
- Change reason
- User who made the change
Trust Score History
A line chart of trust score over time with selectable ranges (for example 7d, 30d, 90d, 1y).
Tier threshold overlays help show when an agent moves between tiers.
Events Affecting Trust Score
A table of score-impacting events, such as:
- Clean-week milestones
- Policy violations
- Tier promotions or demotions
Each row includes timestamp, event type, impact direction, and score delta.
Re-Assessment
Trigger a re-assessment when:
- Agent capabilities change (new data sources, APIs)
- Business context shifts (more critical role)
- Compliance requirements change
- After significant incidents
Click Re-assess Risk to update Risk Profile parameters.
