# Use agentic workflows

# Using AI agentic workflows in Now Assist for Security Incident Response {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Yokohama  
Updated May 16, 2025  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
Use the Security Incident Response AI agentic workflows to complete your tasks autonomously.

[Role masking](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=aia-role-masking&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US) enables users to limit the roles and privileges of agentic workflows during tool execution. Agentic workflows and their AI agents that get installed with Now Assist applications are assigned pre-defined roles. If you select Users with specific roles for user access, you must configure the security controls to include these roles. Data access settings must also include these roles. For the instructions to change the security controls, see [Define security controls for an agentic workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=define-sec-controls-aw&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).

| Agentic workflow name | Description | Available AI agents |
|-|-|-|
| Close security incident | This agentic workflow helps the security analysts to close a security incident using natural language in the Now Assist panel. | Security incident wrap-up generator |
| Analyze security operations metrics | This agentic workflow helps a security operations center (SOC) manager analyze their security analysts' performance. Metrics are generated for security incident response (SIR) records for case volume, mean time to assign (MTTA), and mean time to resolve (MTTR). | * Security incident retrieval AI agent * Security metrics analysis AI agent {#using-now-assist-ai-agents-sir__ul_nxz_v3m_w2c} |
| Security incident resolution | This agentic workflow helps the security analysts to identify a security incident resolution path. This workflow also assist the security analysts to close a security incident using natural language in the Now Assist panel. | * Security incident resolution AI agent * Exchange online integration handling AI agent * Security incident wrap up generator AI agent * Observable analysis AI agent * Security incident activities handling AI agent {#using-now-assist-ai-agents-sir__ul_nx5_2ty_1fc} |
| Generate SIR Shift Handover Report | This agentic workflow adds details of a security incident to the shift handover report. The agent populates the different sections of the shift handover with appropriate content by identifying the relevant details from the security incident. | Security incident shift handover AI Agent |

Important:  
By default, all agentic workflows and AI agent records are read-only.  
To modify an agentic workflow, you must first [duplicate the agentic workflow](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=clone-aia-usecase&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US), and then proceed with the following steps:

* Activate the workflow.
* If required, you can add a trigger to invoke the workflow automatically.

Looking for an AI agent?

* There might be AI agents installed with the Now Assist application that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available on your instance, see [Find AI agents](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=find-ai-agents&version=yokohama&pubname=yokohama-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
* To find agents that might not be installed on your instance, visit the [AI Agent Marketplace](https://store.servicenow.com/store/ai-marketplace) on the ServiceNow Store.
