Access Decision Log

An access decision log is a record of every allow or deny decision made by a policy engine for agent tool calls, including the inputs to the decision and the rationale.

Why this matters for AI agents

Access decision logs are the primary source of truth for security audits, policy refinement, and compliance verification in agentic systems.

How AgntID relates

AgntID's access decision log captures the full context of every policy evaluation: agent identity, tool, parameters, task context, policy applied, decision, and structured reason.

The static IAM gap

IAM logs record API calls and access denials but do not record the policy evaluation context for individual agent tool calls or structured denial reasons.
