Agentic Components

Overview

The Agentic Components page provides visibility into individual agentic operations exposed by an endpoint. Each component represents a discrete agentic capability, such as a tool invocation or MCP method allowing you to review exposure, authentication posture, and observed behavior at the component level.

What an Agentic Component Present

An agentic component represents a single callable operation exposed by an agentic system. Examples include:

  • Tool calls

  • MCP methods

  • Initialisation or listing operations

Each component is discovered from observed runtime traffic.

Agentic Components List

The Agentic Components list displays all components discovered for a selected endpoint.

Component Filters

You can filter components using predefined categories.

  • All: Displays all discovered components

  • New: Components recently discovered

  • Sensitive: Components handling sensitive parameters

  • High risk: Components with elevated risk scores

  • No auth: Components exposed without authentication

  • Shadow: Components not mapped to known specifications

  • Zombie: Inactive components with no recent traffic

Agentic Components Table

Column
Description

Agentic component

Method and path of the operation

Risk score

Component-level risk assessment

Hostname

Host where the component was observed

Access type

Public or private accessibility

Auth type

Authentication status

Sensitive params

Indicates sensitive parameters in requests

Selecting a component opens the Agentic Component Details panel.

Agentic Component Details

The Agentic Component Details panel opens alongside the components list and provides an in-depth view of the selected component.

Component Metadata

The metadata section summarises discovery and exposure information.

Field
Description

Component name

Tool or method identifier

Endpoint

Endpoint where the component was observed

Access type

Public or private

Auth type

Authentication status

First seen

Initial discovery timestamp

Last seen

Most recent observed activity

Change status

Indicates whether the component behavior has changed

Values Tab

The Values tab shows observed runtime samples for the component.

Sample Values

  • Request: Observed request method, headers, and payload

  • Arguments: Input arguments passed to the component

  • Transport: Protocol used for invocation

  • Response: Observed response status and payload

Sample values reflect real traffic and help validate how the component is invoked in practice.

Schema Tab

The Schema tab shows the inferred structure of requests and responses for the selected agentic component. The schema is generated from observed runtime traffic and represents the actual fields used during execution.

The Request section lists all observed request fields. Fields are grouped by location and displayed using dot-notation to represent nested structures.

You can switch between Header and Payload to view fields from each part of the request.

Example request fields

  • id

  • jsonrpc

  • method

  • params._meta.progressToken

  • params.arguments.adults

  • params.arguments.checkin

Schema Behaviour Notes

  • The schema reflects only fields observed in live traffic.

  • Fields appear when they are first detected.
