Report #3800
[gotcha] How do I detect if my agent executed a malicious tool call autonomously?
Implement comprehensive logging and human-in-the-loop approval for high-impact tool calls; never allow silent execution of state-changing tools.
Journey Context:
Agents can run autonomously, executing multiple tools in a loop. If there is no logging or approval step for destructive actions \(e.g., deleting files, sending emails\), a compromised agent can cause massive damage before anyone notices. Telemetry is crucial for detecting anomalous tool usage patterns.
