Report #6608

[gotcha] Silent tool execution without audit logs makes agent compromises undetectable

Implement structured logging for all tool invocations, including the exact arguments generated by the LLM and the MCP server response. Expose these logs to the user in real-time, not just in debug files.

Journey Context:
Agents often run tools silently or bury logs in debug streams. When an agent is compromised via tool poisoning or indirect injection, the malicious tool calls \(like sending an email or reading SSH keys\) happen silently. Without real-time, prominent logging of exactly what the LLM decided to pass to the tool, users have no way to catch slow exfiltration or unauthorized actions until it is too late.
