An Architecture for Auditing AI Agent Delegation and Interactions
This document describes an architecture for auditing of agent-driven
interactions on the Internet. Autonomous and semi-autonomous
software agents, including those based on artificial intelligence,
increasingly act on behalf of users, organizations, and services.
Existing auditing mechanisms often capture isolated system events but
do not consistently represent delegation relationships, user intent,
or evolving authorization. In agent-driven systems, auditability
requires linking intent, delegation, authorization, and execution.
The proposed architecture enables this through distributed audit
record generation, propagation of audit context, optional
attestation, and additonal logging for transparency.
