The SpartanX Custom Agent gives you a conversational way to work with the platform. Instead of manually navigating across dashboards, reports, and asset views, you can ask questions directly and receive answers that are grounded in your environment.
This is not a generic chat interface. The Custom Agent is designed to work with your platform data, your collections, your assets, and your engagement results. That makes it especially useful for triage, investigation, and prioritization.
Main controls in the Custom Agent
Control | What it does |
File upload | Lets you attach files to your prompts for additional context |
Web search | Enables or disables real-time web browsing during research tasks |
Agentic mode | Allows the agent to complete multi-step tasks autonomously |
Deep research mode | Runs more extensive investigation workflows |
Contextualize | Scopes the agent to a specific collection or asset group |
Why contextualization matters
The most important capability in the Custom Agent is contextualization. You can point the agent to a specific collection or asset group and then ask a focused question about that scope. This helps you avoid generic results and keeps responses aligned to the part of the environment you actually care about.
For example, after an engagement has finished, you might scope the agent to a particular collection and ask which critical vulnerabilities should be addressed first. Because the agent is working inside that context, the answer is tied to real findings rather than abstract best practices.
Common ways to use the Custom Agent
The interface includes pre-built prompts to help users get started quickly. These prompts can be used as-is or adapted into your own questions.
Use case | Example questions |
Risk management | Which assets are riskiest right now? What are the top critical vulnerabilities to address first? |
Deep research | What threat actor activity is relevant to my environment? Which TTPs matter to my stack? |
Security posture | What does my current security posture look like across the organization? |
Collections and assets | Which collections need immediate attention? Which assets carry the highest risk? |
Vulnerabilities | Which findings need emergency patching? Which vulnerabilities map to major compliance frameworks? |
This is particularly valuable when teams are overwhelmed by large scan outputs. Instead of sorting through hundreds of findings manually, you can ask the platform to identify the small set of issues that matter most.
Best practice for new users
Start by using the Custom Agent for prioritization and explanation. Ask which findings are most important, which collections deserve immediate review, and which vulnerabilities are tied to compliance or exploitability concerns. Once you become comfortable with the responses, you can move into deeper research and more advanced workflows.
The Custom Agent is best understood as the fastest way to interact with everything SpartanX already knows about your environment.
