Agent Flight Recorder: Tamper-Evident Audit Trails with On-Chain Anchoring for Long-Horizon Tool-Using Agents
'Agent Flight Recorder' proposes tamper-evident, blockchain-anchored audit trails for long-horizon AI agents — addressing a governance gap that NIS2 and DORA incident-documentation rules will soon pressure enterprises to fill.
Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
arXiv:2609.01931v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents execute thousands of actions, resulting in sequential failures rather than isolated errors. When a coding agent deletes a production database or a prompt injection spreads across agents, the incident raises questions of causality, authority, and non-repudiable third-party verification. The Agent Flight Recorder captures each agent action as a structured, canonically serialized event binding eight semantic fields from intent thr
Editorial Analysis
Long-horizon AI agents operating in production lack tamper-proof audit trails; as NIS2/DORA demand incident documentation, this gap becomes a regulatory liability.
Require append-only, cryptographically verifiable logging for every production AI agent and evaluate on-chain anchoring for high-impact workflows.
Autonomous AI agents acting in production need tamper-proof audit trails to satisfy upcoming EU incident-reporting obligations.
