Inside Elastic InfoSec's agentic SOC: When to inline your agent's skills for a 5× cost reduction

This Elastic InfoSec post compares a specialized-agent workflow versus a single agent with on-demand skills for agentic SOC investigations, presenting matched experiments, token counts, cost calculations, and operational trade-offs; it finds specialized agents reduce per-investigation token usage and cost by ~3–5.7× for repeatable automated triage, while the single-agent approach is better for interactive, analyst-driven investigations.
