Implementing Soar Playbook For Phishing

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Response playbooks
• Wiring up a Splunk SOAR phishing playbook
• Ingesting a suspected phishing report into SOAR
• Automating containment and triage for phishing incidents

Example prompts

• “Use the implementing-soar-playbook-for-phishing skill to automate phishing incident response by calling the Splunk SOAR (Phantom) REST API to create…”
• “/implementing-soar-playbook-for-phishing”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Parse the phishing email: Read the email file (.eml format) and extract headers including From, To, Subject, Reply-To, Return-Path…
2. 2Authenticate to SOAR REST API: Use the API token in the ph-auth-token header to authenticate all REST API requests to the SOAR instance.
3. 3Create a container: POST to /rest/container with the incident label, name, description, severity, and status. The container represents the…
4. 4Add email header artifacts: POST to /rest/artifact with container_id and CEF (Common Event Format) fields containing sender address…
5. 5Add URL artifacts: For each URL extracted from the email body, create an artifact with CEF field requestURL and type url. These artifacts…
6. 6Trigger the playbook: POST to /rest/playbook_run with the playbook ID or name and the container ID. This initiates the automated…
7. 7Poll action results: GET /rest/action_run filtered by container ID to monitor playbook progress. Poll until all actions reach a terminal…
8. 8Compile response report: Aggregate playbook action results into a summary report with verdicts from URL reputation, domain reputation, IP…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 54a7988. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Implementing Soar Playbook For Phishing loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~99

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Automates phishing incident response by calling the Splunk SOAR (Phantom) REST API to create containers, attach artifacts (emails, URLs, attachments), and trigger response playbooks. Use when building or wiring up a Splunk SOAR phishing playbook, ingesting a suspected phishing report into SOAR, or automating containment and triage for phishing incidents.
