Can we trace and audit the actions and decisions of autonomous agents in our system?
Can we trace and audit the actions and decisions of autonomous agents in our system?
- Without strong logging and traceability, it becomes difficult to audit or understand decisions made by autonomous agents.
- This increases the risk of undetected errors, malicious actions, and limits post-incident forensics.
- Repudiation becomes likely when actions cannot be linked to responsible entities (agent or user).
If you answered No then you are at risk
If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
Recommendations
- Log all agent actions, tool uses, memory writes, and external interactions.
- Implement immutable audit trails.
- Assign unique identifiers to agents and their outputs.
- Use cryptographic signing for sensitive agent actions to support accountability.
