How do sub-playbooks affect the incident context data in Cortex XDR?

The choice indicating that when set to private, task outputs do not automatically get written to the root context is accurate because it reflects the intended functionality of sub-playbooks within Cortex XDR.

In the system, sub-playbooks can be designed to operate with specific data contexts. When a sub-playbook is set to private, it means that the results or outputs produced by the tasks within that sub-playbook remain isolated and are not shared with the overarching root context. This design is crucial for maintaining distinct operational scopes, especially in situations where certain tasks may only pertain to a specific incident or need to adhere to strict confidentiality.

By not writing outputs to the root context, it allows for better control and management of data, ensuring that only relevant information is propagated upward and that any sensitive operations are kept separate from the broader incident management framework. This management structure ultimately aids in maintaining clarity and organization of incident response efforts.

Other options offer incorrect interpretations of how sub-playbooks function. For example, the global setting facilitating access to the root context or allowing for parallel task execution does not accurately encapsulate the inherent characteristics of how data is managed within sub-playbooks.
