AI agents use snow_sir_indicator_manage to create or update resources in Serac — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Serac environment.
The tool primarily creates and modifies security indicator records and incident relationships. While it deals with sensitive security data (indicators of compromise), the operations are reversible (records can be deleted or delinked, state can be changed back). This is Write rather than Execute (no code/command execution) or Destructive (no permanent deletion).
From the tool's definition The tool performs create_ioc (creates new IOC records), link_to_incident (creates join table entries), and mark_active (modifies IOC state).

Unified tool for the Indicator of Compromise (IOC) lifecycle on sn_ti_observable, sn_ti_indicator, and the SIR observable join table. Manages persistent IOC records — distinct from snow_analyze_threat_intelligence, which only correlates a single IOC against feeds without persisting state. Actions: - create_ioc — create a new IOC record (value, type, finding required) on sn_ti_observable - list_iocs — list IOCs, optionally filtered by type, state, source, or seen-since - link_to_incident — link an existing IOC to a SIR incident via the observable-incident join table - mark_active — mark an IOC active (re-open after resolution) - mark_resolved — mark an IOC resolved (closed, no longer interesting) - search_by_value — find IOCs by exact or fragment match on value (IP, domain, hash, URL, email) Use when: the agent needs to manage persistent IOC records — open a new IOC after triage, attach existing IOCs to a new incident, search for prior sightings of a value, or close out an IOC after eradication. Companion tools: snow_analyze_threat_intelligence (one-shot feed correlation), snow_sir_incident_manage (parent incident lifecycle), snow_sir_evidence_manage (evidence chain of custody). Table-name volatility: the IOC table name varies by SN release (sn_ti_observable / sn_ti_indicator / sn_si_observable). This tool defaults to sn_ti_observable and falls back to sn_si_observable if the primary table is absent. Plugin gating: requires either Threat Intelligence or the Security Incident Response plugin (com.snc.security_incident). A 404 on both fallback tables is surfaced with the required plugin name. Returns: action-specific data. create_ioc returns the created record. list_iocs / search_by_value return arrays of IOCs with value, type, state, source, last_seen. link_to_incident returns the join-row sys_id. mark_active / mark_resolved return the updated record. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Serac MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Serac MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for snow_sir_indicator_manage: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Serac. Nothing to install.
snow_sir_indicator_manage is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the snow_sir_indicator_manage rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for snow_sir_indicator_manage. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
snow_sir_indicator_manage is provided by the Serac MCP server (serac-labs/serac). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
snow_sir_indicator_manage is one line of Serac's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
