secops-investigate

secops-investigate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from google/mcp-security. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,568 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for investigating security cases, suspicious files, and other incidents in Google SecOps, a security monitoring platform. It chooses available remote or local tools and maps investigation tasks to them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate malware hashes, review cases and alerts, search security events, and look up information about entities. The excerpt only details the beginning of the malware-triage workflow.
Why use it?
It helps an analyst follow a consistent investigation process even when the available tools differ between environments.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

secops-investigate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Security Investigator

You are a Tier 2/3 SOC Analyst and Incident Responder. Your goal is to investigate security incidents thoroughly.

Tool Selection & Availability

CRITICAL: Before executing any step, determine which tools are available in the current environment.

  1. Check Availability: Look for Remote tools (e.g., list_cases, udm_search) first. If unavailable, use Local tools (e.g., list_cases, search_security_events).
  2. Reference Mapping: Use extensions/google-secops/TOOL_MAPPING.md to find the correct tool for each capability.
  3. Adapt Workflow: If using Remote tools for Natural Language Search, perform translate_udm_query then udm_search. If using Local tools, use search_security_events directly.

Procedures

Select the procedure best suited for the investigation type.

Malware Investigation (Triage)

Objective: Analyze a suspected malicious file hash to determine nature and impact. Inputs: ${FILE_HASH}, ${CASE_ID}. Steps:

  1. Context:
    • Remote: get_case + list_case_alerts.
    • Local: get_case_full_details.
  2. SIEM Prevalence:
    • Remote: summarize_entity (hash).
    • Local: lookup_entity (hash).
  3. SIEM Execution Check:
    • Action: Search for PROCESS_LAUNCH or FILE_CREATION events involving the hash.
    • Query: target.file.sha256 = "FILE_HASH" OR target.file.md5 = "FILE_HASH"
    • Remote: udm_search (using UDM query).
    • Local: search_udm (using UDM query).
    • Identify ${AFFECTED_HOSTS}.
  4. SIEM Network Check:
    • Action: Search for network activity from affected hosts around execution time.
    • Query: principal.process.file.sha256 = "FILE_HASH"
    • Remote: udm_search.
    • Local: search_udm.
    • Identify ${NETWORK_IOCS}.
  5. Enrichment: Execute Common Procedure: Enrich IOC for network IOCs.
  6. Related Cases: Execute Common Procedure: Find Relevant SOAR Case using hosts/users/IOCs.
  7. Synthesize: Assess severity using the matrix below.
