# Understand Agentic Components

## Overview

The **Agentic Components under Guardrails** page gives you an aggregated view of guardrail activity across your environment. The primary goal of this page is to help you understand **which guardrail types and categories are being flagged most**, and **where those events originate**.

## Key Metrics

### Top Guardrail Types

Displays the most frequently triggered guardrail types across all components.

Use this metric to understand which risk patterns are most common and validate whether existing guardrails address real attack behaviour.

### Top Guardrail Categories

Aggregates guardrail triggers into broader categories.

This metric helps you assess where risk is concentrated and prioritise remediation efforts based on security impact.

## Component List

Lists all discovered agentic components along with their guardrail exposure.
