Execution Trace
An execution trace is a record of the sequence of tool invocations, policy evaluations, and outcomes produced by an AI agent during a task, enabling post-hoc analysis of agent behavior.
Why this matters for AI agents
Execution traces are essential for debugging agent behavior, investigating security incidents, and validating that policy is behaving as intended.
How AgntID relates
AgntID generates execution traces for every agent task that passes through the enforcement layer, capturing the full sequence of policy evaluations and their outcomes.
The static IAM gap
Service-level logs do not capture the within-session sequence of tool calls or the policy context of each call. They cannot reconstruct the execution trace of an agentic task.
