## About this task

ServiceNow Otto for Retail Service Management and the AI Agents for Retail Service Management together enable the store inquiry AI agent. The HQ agent can leverage the store inquiry AI agent either manually or by enabling or
configuring the trigger.

* A trigger allows the AI agent to launch automatically without requiring a HQ agent request when the trigger condition is met.
* The trigger shipped with this release launches for the HQ agent when the case state changes from New to Open and the Assigned to field is not empty.
* By default, the trigger being shipped is disabled and HQ agent can navigate to the AI agent and enable the trigger.

## What to do next

**Configure AI agent security**

You can enable security implementation on AI agents and agentic workflows through access control lists (ACLs) and user identities. These ACLs determine which users have permissions to discover and invoke an agentic workflow or AI agent.

Configure and manage these ACLs for agentic workflows and AI agents in the AI Agent Studio.

See [Implement access control in AI agents](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=aia-security-implementation&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US) for more information on implementing security for AI agents.
