Integrations & Tool Calling Ability to connect agents to real systems through native integrations, OAuth-authenticated actions, custom tools, APIs, webhooks, or MCP-compatible tools. |
||
|
AndesiteIntegrations & Tool Calling 70+ connectors across 15 categories, named ones including CrowdStrike, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Tanium, Splunk, Elastic, Jira, Cloudflare and Tines, plus Microsoft Sentinel, SentinelOne and ServiceNow, with new connectors added every week. Remediation playbooks the customer configures, and remediation launched from investigation findings, sign in to these systems and act in them. The specific response actions per connector are not listed. Andesite queries data where it sits, with no ETL or data migration.

StrikeReadyIntegrations & Tool Calling 400+ two way integrations span EDR, identity, cloud, email, network and SIEM tools, and alerts are taken "from investigation to action" in those tools. StrikeReady works on top of the stack a team already runs, with nothing to rip out. SourceStrikeReady, strikeready.com and /platformread 2026-10-06 |
||
|
Workflow Orchestration Ability to sequence, branch, retry, route, and combine deterministic workflow nodes with autonomous agent steps. |
||
|
AndesiteWorkflow Orchestration Customers configure detection, enrichment, triage and remediation playbooks that invoke Configurable Agents and run when an analyst starts them or an event fires. Each playbook coordinates several agents, and teams can automate it partially or fully in stages. Agents can also take standing assignments, such as looking for anomalies in the network, and they work under human oversight. A collaboration layer gives analysts one place to see and work with every element and data feed in their security stack. SourceAndesite, andesite.ai/product and /faqread 2026-10-05 |

StrikeReadyWorkflow Orchestration Composite AI combines deterministic agents with reasoning models and routes each task to the right model and reasoning level across the 25+ agents StrikeReady has built over seven years of SOC operations. Deterministic agents build the context first, so the reasoning steps start with what they need, and alerts move from investigation to action at the autonomy level the customer chooses.

Triggers & Channel Coverage How agents wake up and where they work: schedules, webhooks, message events, CRM events, inbox events, chat, email, voice, and collaboration tools. |
||
|
AndesiteTriggers & Channel Coverage Playbooks can be "triggered in response to an event" as well as started by analysts, and detection and triage playbooks run on their own as alerts arrive. The event types are not listed. All four kinds of playbook, detection, enrichment, triage and remediation, can start from an event. SourceAndesite, andesite.ai/productread 2026-10-05 |
||
|
StrikeReadyTriggers & Channel Coverage The platform "investigates every alert" with environment context, and incoming threat intelligence is scored against the customer's assets and identities the moment it lands, so both start work without anyone asking. Exposure and vulnerabilities are ranked before alerts fire. SourceStrikeReady, strikeready.com and /platformread 2026-10-06 |

Knowledge Grounding & RAG Ability to ground agent behavior in company data through document ingestion, retrieval, external knowledge APIs, semantic search, or RAG layers. |
||
|
AndesiteKnowledge Grounding & RAG Investigations draw context across connected sources, including Confluence, SharePoint and Google Drive connectors and data lakes such as Snowflake, Databricks and Cribl Lake, and each one traces back to verified sources. Andesite combines the organization's data sources to fit each customer's risk profile, but it describes no knowledge base or index of its own that the agents search.

StrikeReadyKnowledge Grounding & RAG "Deterministic agents build the memory of your environment first, giving every investigation the context it needs before reasoning begins", and that context carries from one investigation to the next. Asset and identity graphs score threat intelligence and exposure against the customer's real assets and identities, fed by 100+ threat intelligence sources.

Memory & State Persistence Ability to persist context across a run, conversation, workflow, user, team, or longer-term memory layer. |
||
|
AndesiteMemory & State Persistence Andesite says the product "learns from context and from experience" so previous events inform current ones. It does not say what is kept, for how long or how it can be removed. SourceAndesite, andesite.airead 2026-10-05 |
||
|
StrikeReadyMemory & State Persistence Deterministic agents build a memory of the environment and carry it between investigations as grounding for each one. StrikeReady names no other agent memory and says nothing of what one would hold or how long it would last. SourceStrikeReady, strikeready.com and /platformread 2026-10-06 |

Human Oversight & Guardrails Approval steps, consent checkpoints, escalation rules, structured guardrails, policy constraints, and pause/resume controls. |
||
|
AndesiteHuman Oversight & Guardrails "Analysts can review the plan, adjust it, or remove data sources before the query runs", and the agent waits for that sign off before it acts. Before a query, Andesite shows which connectors and data sources it will search, the time range and its assumptions. Teams adopt automation partially or fully in stages, with humans making the critical decisions ("governed automation"). SourceAndesite, andesite.ai/faq and /productread 2026-10-05 |
||
|
StrikeReadyHuman Oversight & Guardrails Actions run "within the level of autonomy you choose, from fully automated to human-in-the-loop to analyst-initiated", inside guardrails the customer sets. StrikeReady names the human in the loop mode but does not say how an analyst approves an action before it runs. SourceStrikeReady, strikeready.com and /platformread 2026-10-06 |
