Report #44901

[gotcha] Silent tool execution failures or unexpected tool calls go unnoticed due to missing telemetry

Log all tool calls, their arguments, and their return status to an out-of-band telemetry system that the LLM cannot modify or suppress.

Journey Context:
Agents often handle tool errors by retrying or silently moving on. If a tool is poisoned or an injection causes the agent to call a destructive tool, the only record might be in the LLM's context, which the LLM might summarize away. Developers rely on LLM self-reporting or standard application logging, which often misses the semantic intent of the tool call. Out-of-band logging of the actual API request/response is critical for forensics.
