Report #100724

[gotcha] MCP deployments often log nothing about tool calls or context changes

Log every tool invocation with full parameters, user context, and timestamps; feed logs into a SIEM and alert on anomalous sequences.

Journey Context:
OWASP MCP Top 10 lists lack of audit and telemetry as a meta-risk that amplifies every other risk. Without immutable logs, token theft, prompt injection, and exfiltration are invisible. The counter-intuitive part is that agent actions are harder to reconstruct than traditional API calls because the LLM mediates them. Centralized logging of the full tool-call envelope — not just the final response — is required for incident response and compliance.
