What changes when the system setup changes

Choose the current and the new system type. The three columns show which threats the catalogue flags for routine review and how that selection changes. Threats outside this selection may still be relevant in your specific context.

For architecture, product ownership and anyone facing a change to the system boundary

Moving from LLM API integration to Agentic AI adds 15 threats, keeps 22 and no longer routinely reviews 3. This does not rule out those risks.

What the new system type draws attention to · Agentic AI

Systems with tool use, memory, planning steps, or autonomous execution need a stronger focus on agency, tool safety, session context, and human oversight.

Tool and MCP trust Autonomy boundaries Memory/RAG context Abuse of autonomous workflows Oversight and escalation

Review questions from the catalogue · 3
  • Which tools can the agent invoke and with which privileges?
  • Which actions require explicit human approval?
  • Can external or stored context influence future agent decisions?

System contextThe system context view shows the full catalogue from the perspective of the new system type.

The file shows the current state including any filters and carries the note, catalogue version and source.

“Always consider” means the catalogue includes the threat for this system type in every case. “Case by case” means it depends on further characteristics of the system. A threat that drops out is not thereby ruled out.

Versatile AI Risk Assessment is an aid for structuring AI risks and making them transparent. It does not replace legal or professional advice and makes no binding decisions.
