Attack Path: New exclude_resolved Query Parameter

Tenable has added a new optional exclude_resolved query parameter to the Attack Path search endpoints. This parameter enables you to control whether resolved items are included in search results.

By default, exclude_resolved is set to true, meaning resolved items are excluded from results. Set the parameter to false to return all items regardless of status or state.

This enhancement enables you to:

  • Focus on active attack paths and techniques by default
  • Prioritize actionable data
  • Explicitly include resolved items when performing historical analysis or reporting
