Report #87789
[gotcha] Unlogged tool executions leading to silent failures or untraceable compromises
Implement strict audit logging for all tool calls, arguments, return values, and authorization decisions; never silently swallow tool errors; use MCP logging capabilities.
Journey Context:
In development, developers skip logging tool outputs to save tokens or reduce console noise. In production, when an agent goes rogue or fails, there is no trail to debug what tool it called, with what args, or what it returned. Silent failures are the enemy of security forensics.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
