IBM X-Force Exchange is a threat intelligence sharing platform for researching security threats, aggregating intelligence, and collaborating on cybersecurity insights
IBM X-Force Exchange is a threat intelligence sharing platform for researching security threats, aggregating intelligence, and collaborating on cybersecurity insights On Nagent, IBM X-Force Exchange is exposed as a fully-configurable security & identity tools integration that any agent can call — 7 actions, and API key authentication. No code is required to wire IBM X-Force Exchange into your workflow — connect it once via the External Integrations panel and reuse it across every agent you build.
Agent builders use IBM X-Force Exchange to automate the kinds of tasks security & identity tools teams previously handled manually. Concrete examples — each one is a single agent step in Nagent — include:
Every action and trigger is paired with a structured input/output schema (visible in the sections below), so when you wire IBM X-Force Exchange into Helix — our agentic agent builder — the editor knows exactly what each step expects and produces. Configure once, deploy anywhere across your Nagent agents.
Every operation an agent can call against IBM X-Force Exchange, with input parameters and output schema. Drop these into any step of an agent built in Helix.
IBM_X_FORCE_EXCHANGE_GET_CASEFILES_PUBLICTool to retrieve latest public Collections from IBM X-Force Exchange. Use when you need to access publicly available collections without pagination. For fetching all public collections, consider using the paginated endpoint instead.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
IBM_X_FORCE_EXCHANGE_GET_CASEFILES_PUBLIC_PAGINATEDTool to retrieve all public Collections using pagination from IBM X-Force Exchange. Use when you need to access publicly available collections with pagination support. Returns a list of publicly accessible case files with pagination metadata.
Input parameters
Number of records to skip for pagination. Must be non-negative. Defaults to 0.
Maximum number of records to return per page. Must be between 1 and 1000. Defaults to 100.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
IBM_X_FORCE_EXCHANGE_GET_IPR_CATEGORIESTool to retrieve the complete list of IP reputation categories from IBM X-Force Exchange. Use when you need to understand available IPR classification categories used by XFE.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
IBM_X_FORCE_EXCHANGE_GET_URL_CATEGORIESTool to retrieve the complete list of URL categories from IBM X-Force Exchange. Use when you need to understand available URL classification categories used by XFE.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
IBM_X_FORCE_EXCHANGE_GET_USERPROFILETool to retrieve authenticated user's profile information from IBM X-Force Exchange. Use when you need to access user account details, membership statistics, or integration configurations.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
IBM_X_FORCE_EXCHANGE_GET_VERSIONTool to retrieve current running API version information from IBM X-Force Exchange. Use when you need to check the API version, build number, or creation date.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
IBM_X_FORCE_EXCHANGE_POST_AUTH_API_KEYTool to generate a new API key and password pair for IBM X-Force Exchange authentication. Use when you need to create new credentials for API access. The generated credentials do not expire and can be used with Basic Authentication.
Input parameters
Optional name for the API key to help identify it. This is a label for organizational purposes.
Output
Data from the action execution
Error if any occurred during the execution of the action
Whether or not the action execution was successful or not
No publicly available marketplace agent is found using this tool yet. There are 31 agents privately built on Nagent that already use IBM X-Force Exchange.
Build on Nagent
Connect IBM X-Force Exchange to any Nagent agent in minutes — no API key management, no boilerplate. Just configure and deploy.
The five questions agent builders ask before adopting a new integration.
Open the External Integrations panel inside Nagent (app.nagent.ai/externalIntegration), find IBM X-Force Exchange, and click "Connect Now." You'll authenticate with an API key — Nagent handles credential storage and refresh automatically. Once connected, IBM X-Force Exchange is available to any agent in your workspace.
No. Nagent provides no-code integration for every tool. Once IBM X-Force Exchange is connected, you configure its 7 actions directly in the agent builder UI — no API calls, no boilerplate, no schema management.
Helix — Nagent's agentic agent builder — lets you drop IBM X-Force Exchange steps into any workflow visually. Pick an action (e.g., one of those listed above), fill in the inputs (Helix knows the required vs. optional schema for each parameter), and connect it to upstream/downstream steps. Triggers run as the entry point of an agent, so when a IBM X-Force Exchange event fires, the agent kicks off automatically.
Every IBM X-Force Exchange action and trigger ships with a fully-typed schema — input parameters with name, type, required flag, and description, plus the output payload shape. The schemas are documented in the sections above. Helix uses these schemas to validate your configuration at build time and to type-check the data flowing between steps.
Yes. While IBM X-Force Exchange ships with 7 pre-built security & identity tools actions, you can layer custom logic around them inside Helix — pre/post-processing steps, conditional branches, retries, or stitching IBM X-Force Exchange together with other connected tools.
