Report #77544

[gotcha] Inability to forensically trace agent hijacking due to missing tool execution telemetry

Log the complete state \(system prompt, user prompt, tool call, tool arguments, and tool result\) for every tool execution, and enforce immutable, append-only audit logs.

Journey Context:
When an agent performs a destructive action, developers often only log the tool name and arguments. Without the exact prompt context that caused the LLM to choose that tool, it is impossible to determine if it was a prompt injection, tool poisoning, or a user error. Because LLM interactions are non-deterministic, full state logging at the time of execution is the only way to reconstruct the attack vector.
