Logging and Audit Trails

Logging and Audit Trails

Every prompt, tool execution, context injection, and result output must be logged with integrity guarantees and traceability. Logging Best Practices:

• Log raw prompt input, tool outputs, agent decisions
• Timestamped JSON with hash chaining (blockchain logs)
• Use append-only log store like WORM S3 or Loki with retention policy

Sample Log Schema: { “timestamp”: “2025-06-26T01:31:42Z”, “agent_id”: “crew-alpha-23”, “task_id”: “threat_summary_9801”, “tools_invoked”: [“ioc_extractor”, “dns_resolver”], “output_summary”: “…”, “prompt_hash”: “abc123…”, “exec_duration_ms”: 1632 } Optional: Enable mcp-auditctl CLI to stream logs for forensic inspection or compliance archiving.
