About

Detects a GenAI assistant response that a security_ai classifier scores as high-confidence malicious content. The rule requires a high prediction from one of four models: refusal, encoding, word obfuscation, or hash string. ES|QL COMPLETION then reviews the response and drops likely false positives before an alert is created.

False Positive Examples
A benign assistant reply that quotes a documentation token, a commit SHA, or a sample encoded string can score above 0.98. The completion step is expected to label a refusal or an ordinary answer FP. An alert means the completion model confirmed that the assistant complied, revealed hidden instructions, or returned a secret or obfuscated payload.
