Pivot on IOC Skill

Explore relationships connected to an IOC within Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) to discover related entities for investigation expansion.

Inputs

IOC_VALUE - The indicator value to pivot from
IOC_TYPE - The type: "IP Address", "Domain", "File Hash", "URL", or "Collection"
RELATIONSHIP_NAMES - List of relationships to query (see table below)

Available Relationships by IOC Type

IOC Type	Common Relationships
IP Address	`communicating_files`, `downloaded_files`, `referrer_files`, `resolutions`
Domain	`resolutions`, `communicating_files`, `downloaded_files`, `subdomains`, `siblings`
File Hash	`contacted_domains`, `contacted_ips`, `contacted_urls`, `dropped_files`, `embedded_domains`
URL	`communicating_files`, `downloaded_files`, `last_serving_ip_address`
Collection	`malware_families`, `attack_techniques`, `threat_actors`, `indicators`

Workflow

Step 1: Select GTI Tool

Based on IOC_TYPE:

IOC Type	Tool
IP Address	`gti-mcp.get_entities_related_to_an_ip_address`
Domain	`gti-mcp.get_entities_related_to_a_domain`
File Hash	`gti-mcp.get_entities_related_to_a_file`
URL	`gti-mcp.get_entities_related_to_an_url`
Collection	`gti-mcp.get_entities_related_to_a_collection`

Step 2: Query Each Relationship

For each relationship in RELATIONSHIP_NAMES:

[selected_tool](
    identifier=IOC_VALUE,
    relationship_name=relationship
)

Store results keyed by relationship name.

Required Outputs

After completing this skill, you MUST report these outputs:

Output	Description
`RELATED_ENTITIES`	Dictionary of entities found per relationship
`EXPANDED_IOCS`	Flattened list of all discovered IOCs (IPs, domains, hashes)
`THREAT_CONTEXT`	Threat actor/campaign context if found during pivoting
`PIVOT_STATUS`	Success/failure status of the pivoting

Example Usage

File Hash Investigation:

IOC_VALUE: "abcdef123456..."
IOC_TYPE: "File Hash"
RELATIONSHIP_NAMES: ["contacted_domains", "contacted_ips", "dropped_files"]

Domain Investigation:

IOC_VALUE: "suspicious-domain.com"
IOC_TYPE: "Domain"
RELATIONSHIP_NAMES: ["resolutions", "communicating_files", "subdomains"]
