# Mark a Collection Out of Testing Scope

Exclude collections from AI Red Teaming when they shouldn't be scanned (sandbox agents, demo agents, third-party MCP servers, etc.).

## How to Mark Out of Scope

1. Go to **Agentic Discovery > Collections**
2. Select the collection(s) to exclude
3. Click **Mark collections as out of scanning scope**
4. Confirm

## When to Use

* Sandbox or demo agents
* Third-party MCP servers you don't control
* Deprecated agents being phased out
* Development/probe agents not ready for scanning

## Important Notes

* Collections remain visible in inventory
* They won't be included in AI Red Teaming
* Can be brought back into scope anytime
* Keeps scan results focused on critical agents
