ad-entity-walk SKILL.md skillA
ad-entity-walk from dreadnode/capabilities is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/ad-entity-walk@git:20260504.2a64374Pins git:20260504.2a64374 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Investigate a single AD or Azure principal — who controls it, what it controls, where it has admin rights, and what's reachable via its credentials. Use when the caller asks "tell me about this user", "what does X have access to", "who can compromise Y", or when triaging a finding tied to a specific principal.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AD entity walk
When a single principal is in the spotlight — a user from an attack-path finding, a service account that just landed in Tier Zero, a compromised computer from an incident — the question is always some variation of "what's its blast radius?". This skill pulls together the relationship info BHE has on that principal so the agent can answer.
## Preconditions
- `bhe-bootstrap` has run.
- A principal identifier — either an object_id (preferred) or a name to resolve.
## Workflow
### 1. Resolve to an object_id
If the caller supplied a name ("jdoe@example.com", "DC01.example.com"), call `search_graph(query=<name>, kind=<optional>)` to translate to an object_id. The first result is usually correct; if multiple results land, surface them and let the caller disambiguate before proceeding.
If the caller supplied an object_id, skip this step.
### 2. Pull basic info
Call `get_entity(object_id)`. The response carries:
- Kind (User, Computer, Group, Domain, AZUser, ...).
- Name and distinguished name.
- Domain.
- Counts of every relationship type (Sessions, AdminTo, MemberOf, ...).

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/ad-entity-walk@sha256:7a275376c501778aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260504.2a64374, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
