What Audit Trail Do You Need for Human-to-Agent Delegation?

Human-to-agent delegation requires an audit trail that establishes who authorized an agent, which agent and tools acted, what resources or data were involved, the applicable policy decision and rationale, and any human approval or consent. The article distinguishes authorization evidence from ordinary AI telemetry such as prompts, tool calls, and token usage, arguing that operational traces cannot prove whether an action was permitted under a specific person’s authority. It recommends recording this information at the Policy Enforcement Point where an agent invokes a sensitive tool, API, or MCP server, with a Policy Decision Point evaluating the human, agent, tool, resource, and contextual delegation limits before execution. This approach supports least privilege, revocation, accountability, and incident reconstruction while applying the same authorization standards expected for human actions to agent-driven workflows. It notes that such records alone do not ensure regulatory compliance, but they provide the evidence reviewers need to determine who authorized an action, under which policy, and against which resource.
