## About IBM X-Force Exchange with LuumenAI

Connect IBM X-Force Exchange and ask about threat intelligence without leaving the terminal. Pull the latest public collections, page through the full set, and check the IP reputation and URL category lists the platform scores against. Reads come back right away. Generating a new API key and password pair is a write, so it is previewed and approved first. Luumen authenticates with an API key.
