Report #67733
[gotcha] Silent tool execution without audit logs or human-in-the-loop
Implement comprehensive logging for all tool calls, including the caller, arguments, and return values. Enforce human-in-the-loop approval for high-impact tools \(e.g., write, delete, network calls\) and ensure logs are immutable and reviewed.
Journey Context:
Agents can execute dozens of tool calls per minute. Without telemetry, a compromised agent can silently exfiltrate data or destroy resources without the user knowing. Developers often disable human-in-the-loop prompts because they are annoying, creating a massive blind spot for automated attacks.
