Report #13492

[gotcha] MCP tool executions lack auditability and rollback mechanisms

Implement structured logging for all tool invocations, including the caller, arguments, and result. Design tools to return structured success/failure states and support idempotency or undo operations where possible.

Journey Context:
Agents can execute tools at high speed and in loops. Without strict telemetry, a compromised agent can silently exfiltrate data or destroy resources, and defenders will have no forensic trail. Furthermore, without structured error handling, an agent might loop endlessly on failures. Audit logs and idempotent designs are critical for containment.
