Report #12290

[gotcha] Undetected tool poisoning or data exfiltration due to missing tool execution telemetry

Implement mandatory, out-of-band logging for all tool invocations including the exact arguments passed and the agent's reasoning prior to the call; alert on anomalous tool call sequences.

Journey Context:
Agents are often treated as black boxes. If an agent is subtly poisoned to exfiltrate data via an innocent-looking API call, it goes unnoticed without granular tool execution logs. Standard application logs do not capture the intent or the prompt context that led to the tool call.
