Decisions, tool calls, inputs, outputs, and approvals are written to an append-only, tamper-evident record, so every action a run took can be reconstructed and attributed after the fact. Typical conditions for use: Compliance or debugging demands traceability; Agents trigger external actions. The central trade-off: Traceability is achieved against privacy, s…
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
An audit trail chronologically records relevant system events with evidence so flows, changes, and accountability can be examined later.
Audit trails grew from bookkeeping, auditing, and regulated information systems. Distributed applications extended the pattern to technical events, identities, and correlation across services.
Each important action creates a protected record with time, actor, object, outcome, and correlation ID. The sequence can be searched and checked for integrity.
The central idea and its purpose.
The essential building blocks work together.
Application depends on context and protection needs.
Audit trails support troubleshooting, forensics, and compliance. Scope, retention, privacy, and access must match the protection needs.
