Report #101314

[architecture] When an agent chain makes a wrong decision, there is no reconstructable trace of who delegated what to whom and on what evidence

Log every agent action as an immutable event with trace ID, agent identity, input hash, output hash, confidence, tool calls, and delegation chain. Store logs outside the agent runtime so a compromised agent cannot tamper with them. Use these traces for post-incident reconstruction and for evaluating trust boundaries

Journey Context:
Without an append-only audit trail, a rogue or misaligned agent can hide its tracks, and post-mortems become guesswork. NIST AI RMF emphasizes accountability and organizational oversight as core trustworthy-AI characteristics. Logging must be tamper-evident and include evidence hashes, not just conversational text, to be useful in disputes and red-team analysis.
