Identify modules currently in the NIST in-process queue to anticipate upcoming validations or replacements for sunsetting products.
The agent uses the fips_in_process tool to check the queue of modules currently under validation. This is useful for determining if a replacement for a sunsetting product is coming. The agent must interpret results cautiously, as a submission is a milestone, not a completion date, and absence from the queue might mean the replacement has already landed.
