Agent Audit Trails

Agents you can sign off

You cannot sign off an agent that cannot show its work. So its record is written while it runs.

  • Each action written to a log kept with the work
  • A named person against each consequential decision
  • Refused actions recorded with their reason
  • A trail your assessor reads without reconstruction

Example record

The record you hand the assessor

Appended while the agent works, with a name against each decision.

Nobody rebuilds this afterwards.

The question that comes after the incident

Somebody asks what the agent did and who approved it. A chat transcript does not answer that.

  • Logs that keep the output and lose the steps

  • Approvals given in a meeting and written nowhere

  • Tool calls with no record of their arguments

  • A reconstruction that takes weeks and stays incomplete
