Bloodhound Analysis

BloodHound Analysis

When to use

Use this skill as the MCP-aware router for authorized BloodHound analysis. It is optimized for repeatable graph workflows: dataset checks, object lookup, path analysis, query design, ADCS/Azure/OpenGraph code-review, and report-ready output.

Direct triggers

Use this skill when the task mentions any of the following:

• check the BloodHound connection
• verify BloodHound MCP
• is BloodHound up
• analyze BloodHound data
• find a path
• shortest path
• path to Domain Admin
• path to DA
• path to Tier Zero
• show BloodHound exposure
• inspect this BloodHound result
• run a BloodHound query

Route to instead

• Use $bloodhound-ad-analysis when the user clearly means AD/ADCS pathing such as DCSync, ESC paths, Domain Admins, trusts, sessions, or GPO/ACL abuse.
• Use $bloodhound-query when the user explicitly wants Cypher written, reviewed, optimized, explained, or adapted from saved queries.
• Use $azurehound-analysis, $openhound-github, $openhound-jamf, or $openhound-okta when the graph domain is explicit.
• Use $bloodhound-opengraph when the task is about custom node schemas, ingestors, or graph-model extension work.

Required context

• Confirm the assessment or lab is authorized and in scope.
• Confirm bloodhound_mcp is configured and visible in /mcp before relying on live MCP tools.
• If MCP is unavailable, produce a query/workflow plan instead of claiming live graph facts. The repo includes optional MCP packaging for target environments, but repository work should not install or sync it into the current Codex config unless explicitly requested.
• Route domain-specific query work to $bloodhound-query, $bloodhound-ad-analysis, $azurehound-analysis, $openhound-github, $openhound-jamf, or $openhound-okta as appropriate.

Default workflow

1. Check data quality first
   • Start with data_quality(info_type="stats") or data_quality(info_type="platform_list").
   • Call out collection gaps before drawing conclusions.
2. Find the right graph objects
   • Use domain_info(info_type="list") and domain_info(info_type="search", query=...).
   • Capture object IDs/names for every critical claim.
3. Use the right composite tool before custom Cypher
   • Prefer user_info, group_info, computer_info, ou_info, gpo_info, graph_analysis, and adcs_info for common questions.
   • Use cypher_query(info_type="run", query=...) only when the composite tools cannot answer cleanly.
4. Load references before writing attack queries
   • For custom query work, read ../../references/docs/bloodhound-query-methodology.md.
   • For attack scenarios, use the relevant domain index in ../../references/query-indexes/ and adapt a known-good snapshot pattern.
   • For OpenGraph collector, SCIM, or hybrid identity work, also read ../../references/docs/collector-source-index.md, ../../references/docs/scim-methodology.md, ../../references/docs/opengraph-extension-management.md, and ../../references/examples/ as relevant.
   • If MCP exposes live BloodHound resources such as bloodhound://cypher/reference, use them as live supplements, not replacements for the repo-packaged guidance.
5. Produce assessment-ready output
   • Separate confirmed graph facts from inferred risk.
   • Include affected entities, edge sequence, confidence, data-quality caveats, and remediation.

Safety and quality rules

• Do not perform write actions such as custom node changes, asset group changes, saved query edits, or file uploads without explicit user confirmation.
• Use pagination (limit, skip) for broad queries.
• Never label a user, computer, or path as low risk without checking memberships, enabled/admincount status, and relevant edge context.
• Use uppercase names with domain suffixes when filtering BloodHound names, and lowercase property names such as hasspn, enabled, and admincount.
• Prefer remediation-focused wording over exploitation instructions unless the user explicitly asks for operator guidance in an authorized assessment.

References

• Read references/bloodhound-mcp-tools.md for the expected MCP tool and resource surface.
• Read ../../references/docs/source-index.md for official docs, collector references, examples, and vendored query indexes.
• Use $bloodhound-query for cross-domain query authoring/review.
• Use $bloodhound-ad-analysis, $azurehound-analysis, $openhound-github, $openhound-jamf, or $openhound-okta for domain-specific saved-query adaptation.
• Use $bloodhound-opengraph for custom node schema, OpenGraph modeling, and ingestor extension work.
