Audit and Observability

Agent Audit Trail

An agent audit trail is a tamper-evident log of all tool calls made by an AI agent during a task, including the agent identity, tool name, parameters, policy decision, and outcome for each invocation.

Why this matters for AI agents

Audit trails are required for security investigations, compliance, and incident response. Without a complete audit trail, it is impossible to reconstruct what an agent did, when, and why.

How AgntID relates

AgntID produces a complete agent audit trail for every tool call it evaluates, including agent identity, task ID, tool name, parameters, policy decision, credential scope, and timestamp.

The static IAM gap

Cloud provider logs capture API calls at the service level but do not include agent task context, delegation chain, or policy decision details that are needed for agentic audit.
