Anomaly Detection

# Behavioral anomaly detection
def detect_anomaly(agent_activity: AgentActivity) -> ThreatLevel:
    # Compare against baseline behavior
    baseline = get_agent_baseline(agent_activity.agent_id)
    
    deviation_score = calculate_deviation(
        current=agent_activity,
        baseline=baseline
    )
    
    if deviation_score > 0.9:
        return ThreatLevel.CRITICAL
    elif deviation_score > 0.7:
        return ThreatLevel.WARNING
    elif deviation_score > 0.5:
        return ThreatLevel.INFORMATIONAL
    else:
        return ThreatLevel.NORMAL
