DEFINITION

Audit Trail

Audit Trail / Audit Log

Definition

A record of all actions taken in a system, showing who performed each action and when. In agent workflows, audit trails can create false impressions of human involvement when agents impersonate humans via OAuth/MCP without explicit disclosure.

Examples in the Wild

  • Example 1:Git commit history showing developer as author
  • Example 2:GitHub PR comments appearing as human reviewer
  • Example 3:PR approval records showing human approval
  • Example 4:CI/CD logs showing test execution
