MAESTRO threat modeling is a structured risk assessment approach that maps multi-agent system components across seven architectural layers, from Foundation Models to Agent Ecosystems, to identify layer-specific security threats and cross-layer attack chains.

Cross-layer attack chains in multi-agent architectures are identified by decomposing the system using the MAESTRO 7-layer mapping, analyzing threats unique to each layer, and assessing how vulnerabilities propagate across multiple layers to enable extended multi-agent threats.

Reasoning collapse, covert coordination, and goal drift in delegated agent chains are modeled as extended multi-agent threats by evaluating architecture pattern risks within supervisor-agent and distributed deployment patterns.

OWASP-aligned threat modeling findings are generated by analyzing threats per MAESTRO layer, assessing cross-layer risks, developing mitigation strategies, and producing structured output-ready artifacts mapped to OWASP threat modeling references.

Security risks in multi-agent supervisor patterns are assessed by applying architecture pattern risk evaluation to common supervisor-agent and distributed patterns, identifying vulnerabilities unique to the delegated chain structure.

Multi-agent threat modeling requires mapping all seven MAESTRO layers to satisfy comprehensive risk assessment requirements, ensuring both layer-specific threats and cross-layer attack chains are fully analyzed across the agent ecosystem.
