+# ThreatHunt Analyst-Assist Agent Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation adds an analyst-assist agent to ThreatHunt that provides read-only guidance on CSV artifact data, analytical pivots, and hypotheses. The agent strictly adheres to the governance principles defined in `goose-core/governance/AGENT_POLICY.md`.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Backend Stack
+- **Framework**: FastAPI (Python 3.11)
+- **Agent Module**: `backend/app/agents/`
+  - `core.py`: ThreatHuntAgent class with guidance logic
+  - `providers.py`: Pluggable LLM provider interface
+  - `config.py`: Configuration management
+
+### Frontend Stack
+- **Framework**: React with TypeScript
+- **Components**: AgentPanel chat interface
+- **Styling**: CSS with responsive design
+
+### API Endpoint
+- **POST /api/agent/assist**: Request analyst guidance
+- **GET /api/agent/health**: Check agent availability
+
+## LLM Provider Architecture
+
+The agent supports three provider types, selectable via configuration:
+
+### 1. Local Provider
+**Use Case**: On-device or on-premise models
+
+Environment variables:
+```bash
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=local
+THREAT_HUNT_LOCAL_MODEL_PATH=/path/to/model.gguf
+```
+
+Supported frameworks:
+- llama-cpp-python (GGML models)
+- Ollama API
+- vLLM
+- Other local inference engines
+
+### 2. Networked Provider
+**Use Case**: Shared internal inference services
+
+Environment variables:
+```bash
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=networked
+THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_ENDPOINT=http://inference-service:5000
+THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_KEY=api-key-here
+```
+
+Supported architectures:
+- Internal inference service API
+- LLM inference container clusters
+- Enterprise inference gateways
+
+### 3. Online Provider
+**Use Case**: External hosted APIs
+
+Environment variables:
+```bash
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=online
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_PROVIDER=openai
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
+```
+
+Supported providers:
+- OpenAI (GPT-3.5, GPT-4)
+- Anthropic Claude
+- Google Gemini
+- Other hosted LLM services
+
+### Auto Provider Selection
+Set `THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=auto` to automatically use the first available provider:
+1. Local (if model path exists)
+2. Networked (if endpoint is configured)
+3. Online (if API key is set)
+
+## Backend Implementation
+
+### Agent Request/Response Flow
+
+**Request** (AgentContext):
+```python
+{
+    "query": "What patterns suggest suspicious file modifications?",
+    "dataset_name": "FileList-2025-12-26",
+    "artifact_type": "FileList",
+    "host_identifier": "DESKTOP-ABC123",
+    "data_summary": "File listing from system scan",
+    "conversation_history": [...]
+}
+```
+
+**Response** (AgentResponse):
+```python
+{
+    "guidance": "Based on the files listed, ...",
+    "confidence": 0.8,
+    "suggested_pivots": ["Analyze temporal patterns", "Cross-reference with IOCs"],
+    "suggested_filters": ["Filter by modification time", "Sort by file size"],
+    "caveats": "Guidance is based on available data context...",
+    "reasoning": "Analysis generated based on patterns..."
+}
+```
+
+### Governance Enforcement
+
+The agent is designed with hard constraints to ensure compliance:
+
+1. **Read-Only**: Agent accepts context data but cannot:
+   - Execute tools or actions
+   - Modify database or schema
+   - Escalate findings to alerts
+   - Access external systems
+
+2. **Advisory Only**: All guidance is clearly marked as:
+   - Suggestions, not directives
+   - Confidence-rated
+   - Accompanied by caveats
+   - Attributed to the agent
+
+3. **Analyst Control**: The UI emphasizes:
+   - Agent provides guidance only
+   - Analysts retain all decision-making authority
+   - All next steps require analyst action
+
+## Frontend Implementation
+
+### AgentPanel Component
+
+Located in `frontend/src/components/AgentPanel.tsx`:
+
+**Features**:
+- Chat-style interface for analyst questions
+- Context display showing current dataset/host/artifact
+- Rich response formatting with:
+  - Main guidance text
+  - Suggested analytical pivots (clickable)
+  - Suggested data filters
+  - Confidence scores
+  - Caveats and assumptions
+  - Reasoning explanation
+- Conversation history for context
+- Responsive design (desktop and mobile)
+- Loading states and error handling
+
+**Props**:
+```typescript
+interface AgentPanelProps {
+  dataset_name?: string;
+  artifact_type?: string;
+  host_identifier?: string;
+  data_summary?: string;
+  onAnalysisAction?: (action: string) => void;
+}
+```
+
+### Integration in Main UI
+
+The agent panel is integrated into the main ThreatHunt dashboard as a sidebar component. In `App.tsx`:
+
+1. Main analysis view occupies left side
+2. Agent panel occupies right sidebar
+3. Context automatically updated when analyst switches datasets/hosts
+4. Responsive layout: stacks vertically on mobile
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Provider selection
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=auto              # auto, local, networked, or online
+
+# Local provider
+THREAT_HUNT_LOCAL_MODEL_PATH=/models/model.gguf
+
+# Networked provider
+THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_ENDPOINT=http://service:5000
+THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_KEY=api-key
+
+# Online provider
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_API_KEY=sk-key
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_PROVIDER=openai
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
+
+# Agent behavior
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_MAX_TOKENS=1024
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_REASONING=true
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_HISTORY_LENGTH=10
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_FILTER_SENSITIVE=true
+
+# Frontend
+REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
+```
+
+### Docker Deployment
+
+Use `docker-compose.yml` for full stack deployment:
+
+```bash
+# Build and start services
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Verify health
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/agent/health
+curl http://localhost:3000
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f backend
+docker-compose logs -f frontend
+
+# Stop services
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **API Access**: Backend should be protected with authentication in production
+2. **LLM Privacy**: Sensitive data (IPs, usernames) should be filtered before sending to online providers
+3. **Error Messages**: Production should use generic error messages, not expose internal details
+4. **Rate Limiting**: Implement rate limiting on agent endpoints
+5. **Conversation History**: Consider data retention policies for conversation logs
+
+## Testing
+
+### Manual Testing
+
+1. **Agent Health**:
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:8000/api/agent/health
+   ```
+
+2. **Agent Assistance** (without frontend):
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/agent/assist \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{
+       "query": "What suspicious patterns do you see?",
+       "dataset_name": "FileList",
+       "artifact_type": "FileList",
+       "host_identifier": "HOST123"
+     }'
+   ```
+
+3. **Frontend UI**:
+   - Navigate to http://localhost:3000
+   - Type question in agent panel
+   - Verify response displays correctly
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Structured Output**: Use LLM JSON mode or function calling for more reliable parsing
+2. **Context Filtering**: Automatically filter sensitive data before sending to LLM
+3. **Multi-Modal**: Support image uploads (binary analysis, network diagrams)
+4. **Caching**: Cache common agent responses to reduce latency
+5. **Feedback Loop**: Capture analyst feedback on guidance quality
+6. **Integration**: Connect agent to actual CVE databases, threat feeds
+7. **Custom Models**: Support fine-tuned models for threat hunting domain
+8. **Audit Trail**: Comprehensive logging of all agent interactions
+
+## Governance Compliance
+
+This implementation strictly follows:
+- `goose-core/governance/AGENT_POLICY.md` - Agent boundaries and allowed functions
+- `goose-core/governance/AI_RULES.md` - AI system rules
+- `goose-core/governance/SCOPE.md` - Shared vs application-specific responsibility
+- `ThreatHunt/THREATHUNT_INTENT.md` - Agent role in threat hunting
+
+**Key Principles**:
+- ✅ Agents assist analysts, never act autonomously
+- ✅ No execution without explicit analyst approval
+- ✅ No database or schema changes
+- ✅ No alert escalation
+- ✅ Read-only guidance
+- ✅ Transparent reasoning and caveats
+- ✅ Analyst retains all authority
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Agent Unavailable (503)
+- Check environment variables for provider configuration
+- Verify LLM provider is accessible
+- Review backend logs: `docker-compose logs backend`
+
+### Slow Responses
+- Check LLM provider latency
+- Reduce MAX_TOKENS if appropriate
+- Consider local provider for latency-sensitive deployments
+
+### No Responses from Frontend
+- Verify backend health: `curl http://localhost:8000/api/agent/health`
+- Check browser console for errors
+- Verify REACT_APP_API_URL in frontend environment
+- Check CORS configuration if frontend hosted separately

+open http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+### Local Development
+```bash
+# Backend
+cd backend
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+export THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_API_KEY=sk-your-key  # Or other provider
+python run.py
+
+# Frontend (new terminal)
+cd frontend
+npm install
+npm start
+```
+
+## 💬 How It Works
+
+1. **Analyst asks question** in chat panel
+2. **Context included** (dataset, host, artifact)
+3. **Agent receives request** via API
+4. **LLM generates response** using configured provider
+5. **Response formatted** with guidance, pivots, filters, caveats
+6. **Analyst reviews** and decides next steps
+
+## 📊 API Example
+
+**Request**:
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/agent/assist \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "query": "What suspicious patterns do you see?",
+    "dataset_name": "FileList-2025-12-26",
+    "artifact_type": "FileList",
+    "host_identifier": "DESKTOP-ABC123",
+    "data_summary": "File listing from system scan"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Response**:
+```json
+{
+  "guidance": "Based on the files listed, several patterns stand out...",
+  "confidence": 0.8,
+  "suggested_pivots": [
+    "Analyze temporal patterns",
+    "Cross-reference with IOCs"
+  ],
+  "suggested_filters": [
+    "Filter by modification time > 2025-12-20",
+    "Sort by file size (largest first)"
+  ],
+  "caveats": "Guidance based on available data context...",
+  "reasoning": "Analysis generated based on artifact patterns..."
+}
+```
+
+## 🔧 Configuration Options

+# Analyst-Assist Agent Implementation Summary
+
+## Completed Implementation
+
+I've successfully implemented a full analyst-assist agent for ThreatHunt following all governance principles from goose-core.
+
+## What Was Built
+
+### Backend (Python/FastAPI)
+✅ **Agent Module** (`backend/app/agents/`)
+- `core.py`: ThreatHuntAgent class with guidance logic
+- `providers.py`: Pluggable LLM provider interface (local, networked, online)
+- `config.py`: Environment-based configuration management
+
+✅ **API Endpoint** (`backend/app/api/routes/agent.py`)
+- POST `/api/agent/assist`: Request guidance with context
+- GET `/api/agent/health`: Check agent availability
+
+✅ **Application Structure**
+- `main.py`: FastAPI application with CORS
+- `requirements.txt`: Dependencies (FastAPI, Uvicorn, Pydantic)
+- `run.py`: Entry point for local development
+
+### Frontend (React/TypeScript)
+✅ **Agent Chat Component** (`frontend/src/components/AgentPanel.tsx`)
+- Chat-style interface for analyst questions
+- Context display (dataset, host, artifact)
+- Rich response formatting with pivots, filters, caveats
+- Conversation history support
+- Responsive design
+
+✅ **API Integration** (`frontend/src/utils/agentApi.ts`)
+- Type-safe request/response definitions
+- Health check functionality
+- Error handling
+
+✅ **Main Application**
+- `App.tsx`: Dashboard with agent panel in sidebar
+- `App.css`: Responsive layout (desktop/mobile)
+- `index.tsx`, `index.html`: React setup
+
+✅ **Configuration**
+- `package.json`: Dependencies (React 18, TypeScript)
+- `tsconfig.json`: TypeScript configuration
+
+### Docker & Deployment
+✅ **Containerization**
+- `Dockerfile.backend`: Python 3.11 FastAPI container
+- `Dockerfile.frontend`: Node 18 React production build
+- `docker-compose.yml`: Full stack with networking
+- `.env.example`: Configuration template
+
+## LLM Provider Architecture
+
+### Three Pluggable Providers
+
+**1. Local Provider**
+```bash
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=local
+THREAT_HUNT_LOCAL_MODEL_PATH=/path/to/model.gguf
+```
+- On-device or on-prem models
+- GGML, Ollama, vLLM, etc.
+
+**2. Networked Provider**
+```bash
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=networked
+THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_ENDPOINT=http://service:5000
+THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_KEY=api-key
+```
+- Shared internal inference services
+- Enterprise inference gateways
+
+**3. Online Provider**
+```bash
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=online
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_API_KEY=sk-key
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_PROVIDER=openai
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
+```
+- OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.
+
+**Auto Selection**
+```bash
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=auto
+```
+- Tries: local → networked → online
+
+## Governance Compliance
+
+✅ **Strict Policy Adherence**
+- No autonomous execution (agents advise only)
+- No tool execution (read-only guidance)
+- No database/schema changes
+- No alert escalation
+- Transparent reasoning with caveats
+- Analyst retains all authority
+
+✅ **follows AGENT_POLICY.md**
+- Agents guide, explain, suggest
+- Agents do NOT execute, escalate, or modify data
+- All output is advisory and attributable
+
+✅ **Follows THREATHUNT_INTENT.md**
+- Helps interpret artifact data
+- Suggests analytical pivots and filters
+- Highlights anomalies
+- Assists in hypothesis formation
+- Does NOT perform analysis independently
+
+## API Specifications
+
+### Request
+```json
+POST /api/agent/assist
+{
+  "query": "What patterns suggest suspicious activity?",
+  "dataset_name": "FileList-2025-12-26",
+  "artifact_type": "FileList",
+  "host_identifier": "DESKTOP-ABC123",
+  "data_summary": "File listing from system scan",
+  "conversation_history": []
+}
+```
+
+### Response
+```json
+{
+  "guidance": "Based on the files listed, several patterns stand out...",
+  "confidence": 0.8,
+  "suggested_pivots": [
+    "Analyze temporal patterns",
+    "Cross-reference with IOCs",
+    "Check for known malware signatures"
+  ],
+  "suggested_filters": [
+    "Filter by modification time > 2025-12-20",
+    "Sort by file size (largest first)",
+    "Filter by file extension: .exe, .dll, .ps1"
+  ],
+  "caveats": "Guidance based on available data context. Verify with additional sources.",
+  "reasoning": "Analysis generated based on artifact data patterns."
+}
+```
+
+## Frontend Features
+
+✅ **Chat Interface**
+- Analyst asks questions
+- Agent provides guidance
+- Message history with timestamps
+
+✅ **Context Awareness**
+- Displays current dataset, host, artifact
+- Context automatically included in requests
+- Conversation history for continuity
+

+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Pluggable Providers**: Support multiple LLM backends without changing application code
+2. **Auto-Detection**: Smart provider selection for deployment flexibility
+3. **Context-Aware**: Agent requests include dataset, host, and artifact context
+4. **Read-Only**: Hard constraints prevent agent from executing, modifying, or escalating
+5. **Advisory UI**: Frontend emphasizes guidance-only nature with caveats and disclaimers
+6. **Conversation History**: Maintains context across multiple analyst queries
+7. **Error Handling**: Graceful degradation if LLM provider unavailable
+8. **Containerized**: Full Docker support for easy deployment and scaling
+
+## Next Steps / Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Integration Testing**: Add pytest/vitest test suites
+2. **Authentication**: Add JWT/OAuth to API endpoints
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Implement request throttling
+4. **Structured Output**: Use LLM JSON mode or function calling
+5. **Data Filtering**: Auto-filter sensitive data before LLM
+6. **Caching**: Cache common agent responses
+7. **Feedback Loop**: Capture guidance quality feedback from analysts
+8. **Audit Trail**: Comprehensive logging and compliance reporting
+9. **Fine-tuning**: Custom models for cybersecurity domain
+10. **Performance**: Optimize latency and throughput
+
+## Governance References
+
+This implementation fully complies with:
+- ✅ `goose-core/governance/AGENT_POLICY.md`
+- ✅ `goose-core/governance/AI_RULES.md`
+- ✅ `goose-core/governance/SCOPE.md`
+- ✅ `goose-core/governance/ALERT_POLICY.md`
+- ✅ `goose-core/contracts/finding.json`
+- ✅ `ThreatHunt/THREATHUNT_INTENT.md`
+
+**Core Principle**: Agents assist analysts, never act autonomously.

+
+### Provider Configuration Quick Start
+
+**Option 1: Online (OpenAI) - Easiest**
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env:
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=online
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-key
+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
+
+docker-compose up -d
+# Access at http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+**Option 2: Local Model (Ollama) - Best for Privacy**
+```bash
+# Install Ollama and pull model
+ollama pull mistral  # or llama2, neural-chat, etc.
+
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env:
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=local
+THREAT_HUNT_LOCAL_MODEL_PATH=/path/to/model
+
+# Update docker-compose.yml to connect to Ollama
+# Add to backend service:
+# extra_hosts:
+#   - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
+# THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=local
+# THREAT_HUNT_LOCAL_MODEL_PATH=~/.ollama/models/
+
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+**Option 3: Internal Service - Enterprise**
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env:
+THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=networked
+THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_ENDPOINT=http://your-inference-service:5000
+THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_KEY=your-api-key

+
+## Security Notes
+
+### For Production
+
+1. **Authentication**: Add JWT token validation to endpoints
+   ```python
+   from fastapi.security import HTTPBearer
+   security = HTTPBearer()
+   
+   @router.post("/assist")
+   async def assist(request: AssistRequest, credentials: HTTPAuthorizationCredentials = Depends(security)):
+       # Verify token
+   ```
+
+2. **Rate Limiting**: Install and use `slowapi`
+   ```python
+   from slowapi import Limiter
+   limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)
+   
+   @limiter.limit("10/minute")
+   async def assist(request: AssistRequest):
+   ```
+
+3. **HTTPS**: Use reverse proxy (nginx) with TLS
+
+4. **Data Filtering**: Filter sensitive data before LLM
+   ```python
+   # Remove IPs, usernames, hashes
+   filtered = filter_sensitive(request.data_summary)
+   ```
+
+5. **Audit Logging**: Log all agent requests
+   ```python
+   logger.info(f"Agent: user={user_id} query={query} host={host}")
+   ```
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+**Agent Settings**:

+THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_MODEL            # Model name (gpt-3.5-turbo, etc)
+```
+
+## Architecture Decisions
+
+### Why Pluggable Providers?
+- Deployment flexibility (cloud, on-prem, hybrid)
+- Privacy control (local vs online)
+- Cost optimization
+- Vendor lock-in prevention
+
+### Why Conversation History?
+- Better context for follow-up questions
+- Maintains thread of investigation
+- Reduces redundant explanations
+
+### Why Read-Only?
+- Safety: Agent cannot accidentally modify data
+- Compliance: Adheres to governance requirements
+- Trust: Humans retain control
+
+### Why Config-Based?
+- No code changes for provider switching
+- Easy environment-specific configuration
+- CI/CD friendly
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Configure Provider**: Set env vars for your chosen LLM
+2. **Deploy**: Use docker-compose or local development
+3. **Test**: Verify health endpoint and sample request
+4. **Integrate**: Add to your threat hunting workflow

-# VelociCompanion
+# ThreatHunt - Analyst-Assist Threat Hunting Platform
 
-A multi-tenant threat hunting companion for analyzing data exported from Velociraptor with JWT authentication and role-based access control.
+A modern threat hunting platform with integrated analyst-assist agent guidance. Analyze CSV artifact data exported from Velociraptor with AI-powered suggestions for investigation directions, analytical pivots, and hypothesis formation.
 
 ## Overview
 
-VelociCompanion is a standalone web application designed to help security teams organize, analyze, and track threat hunting data derived from Velociraptor artifact collections. Users export artifacts from Velociraptor as CSV files and upload them to VelociCompanion for centralized analysis and tracking.
+ThreatHunt is a web application designed to help security analysts efficiently hunt for threats by:
+- Importing CSV artifacts from Velociraptor or other sources
+- Displaying data in an organized, queryable interface
+- Providing AI-powered guidance through an analyst-assist agent
+- Suggesting analytical directions, filters, and pivots
+- Highlighting anomalies and patterns of interest
 
-> **Note:** This application does not connect directly to a Velociraptor server. Data is imported manually via CSV file uploads.
+> **Agent Policy**: The analyst-assist agent provides read-only guidance only. It does not execute actions, escalate alerts, or modify data. All decisions remain with the analyst.
 
-## Workflow
+## Quick Start
 
-1. **Run hunts/collections** in Velociraptor
+### Docker (Recommended)
-2. **Export artifact results** as CSV files
+
-3. **Upload CSV files** to VelociCompanion via the ingestion API
+```bash
-4. **Analyze, annotate, and track** findings across your team
+# Clone and navigate
-5. **Enrich data** using the VirusTotal integration for hash lookups
+git clone https://github.com/mblanke/ThreatHunt.git
+cd ThreatHunt
+
+# Configure provider (choose one)
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env and set your LLM provider:
+# Option 1: Online (OpenAI, etc.)
+#   THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=online
+#   THREAT_HUNT_ONLINE_API_KEY=sk-your-key
+# Option 2: Local (Ollama, GGML, etc.)
+#   THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=local
+#   THREAT_HUNT_LOCAL_MODEL_PATH=/path/to/model
+# Option 3: Networked (Internal inference service)
+#   THREAT_HUNT_AGENT_PROVIDER=networked
+#   THREAT_HUNT_NETWORKED_ENDPOINT=http://service:5000
+
+# Start services
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Verify
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/agent/health
+curl http://localhost:3000
+```
