Cyber Threat Intelligence Triage Agent using Claude Agents SDK and Pydantic AI

Advanced APT hacking campaigns targeting financial infrastructure demand rapid multi-modal forensic triage and automated mitigation recommendations. Build an autonomous threat triage agent with the Claude Agents SDK and Pydantic AI to ingest network telemetry, evaluate indicator confidence, and trigger firewall rule updates. Achieve 95% accuracy on incident severity classification and automated response generation.

Tests agent ability to correctly classify APT threat severity and generate valid containment payloads.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

schema_validation_test

Verifies output conforms to required Pydantic model

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

severity_accuracy

Accuracy score of assigned incident severity • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
