# Attribute Enrichment

Attribute expansion allows you to enrich agents in the **AI Agent Registry** with additional metadata beyond the default and vendor-provided **Attributes**. This enables you to capture business, operational, and governance-related information that is specific to your organization.

By extending the **Attribute** model, you transform the registry from a basic inventory into a structured dataset that supports advanced use cases such as dynamic grouping and future **Policy** enforcement.

All additional **Attributes** apply to every agent in the registry, regardless of whether the agent was discovered through integration or registered manually.

## Create Additional Attributes

**To create an Attribute:**

1. From the Environment navigation bar, hover over **AI Agent Registry** and click the settings icon.
2. Click **Attributes**.
3. Click **New Attribute**.
4. Enter the Attribute details, including name, type, and any constraints such as length or allowed values.
5. Configure whether the Attribute is available for **Policy** usage or access requests.
6. Click **Save**.

The Platform supports multiple data types, including string, numeric, and Boolean formats. This ensures that you can model a wide range of metadata.

Once created, the **Attribute** is added to the registry schema and becomes available across all agents.

## Managing Additional Attributes

**To use additional Attributes:**

1. Click **AI Agent Registry** in the Environment navigation bar.
2. Hover over the relevant agent and click the **Edit** icon.
3. View and update the additional **Attributes** in the side panel.
4. Click **Save**.

## Attribute Behavior

Additional **Attributes** are fully editable and can be removed if no longer needed. They are populated manually and are designed to support flexible data modeling.

When a new **Attribute** is created:

- It is automatically applied to all agents in the Workspace.
- It becomes available for use in dynamic grouping and future **Policy** definitions. Ensure that the Attribute is available for **Policy** usage or access requests.
- It is included in the registry schema and mapping model.

## Example Use Case

You can use additional **Attributes** to classify agents based on organizational needs. For example, you might create a Boolean **Attribute** such as **PII Access** to indicate whether an agent interacts with sensitive data, or an **Active** **Attribute** to track operational status.

These **Attributes** can later be used to group agents dynamically, such as identifying all agents that access sensitive data.
