Tool Call Auditing

Reviewed 9 April 2026 Canonical definition

Tool call auditing is the recording and review of every instance where an AI agent invokes an external tool, API, or service. Each audit record captures the tool name, parameters passed, response received, identity of the calling agent, and the policy decision that permitted or blocked the call — creating a granular trace of agent-to-tool interaction.
