Answers from the documentation; checking which model is on duty
Hi - I answer from the OpenSmartRoute documentation: routing, the API, plans and quotas, self-hosting. Ask away, or open a support ticket if you need a person.
Grounded in the docs - follow a source before acting on it.

Hunting For Shadow Copy Deletion
When to Use
When proactively hunting for indicators of hunting for shadow copy deletion in the environment
After threat intelligence indicates active campaigns using these techniques
During incident response to scope compromise related to these techniques
When EDR or SIEM alerts trigger on related indicators
During periodic security assessments and purple team exercises
Prerequisites
EDR platform with process and network telemetry (CrowdStrike, MDE, SentinelOne)
SIEM with relevant log data ingested (Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel)
Sysmon deployed with comprehensive configuration
Windows Security Event Log forwarding enabled
Threat intelligence feeds for IOC correlation
Workflow
Formulate Hypothesis: Define a testable hypothesis based on threat intelligence or ATT&CK gap analysis.
Identify Data Sources: Determine which logs and telemetry are needed to validate or refute the hypothesis.
Execute Queries: Run detection queries against SIEM and EDR platforms to collect relevant events.
Analyze Results: Examine query results for anomalies, correlating across multiple data sources.
Validate Findings: Distinguish true positives from false positives through contextual analysis.
Correlate Activity: Link findings to broader attack chains and threat actor TTPs.
Document and Report: Record findings, update detection rules, and recommend response actions.

Common Scenarios
Scenario 1: Ransomware deleting shadow copies before encryption
Install hunting-for-shadow-copy-deletion and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.
A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
When a provider is down or over quota the request moves on; the trace says it did.
Use it
Copy one of these into your project. Installing also returns the manifest and these snippets.
# after Install: the listing is in your workspace's routing pool - a plan picks it for its slotcurl-s-X POST https://api.opensmartroute.ai/api/v1/route -H 'Authorization: Bearer $OSR_API_KEY' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"text": "...", "plan": true}'
Manifest
An Open Capability Manifest: the router reads it to know what this does, what it costs and when to pick it.
