contrast_with
Unlike intent preview, which asks for approval before an action, an action audit log is the after-the-fact record — the 'what did happen' half — that lets a principal verify or undo an agent's work.
example
After an agent completes a task, its action audit log shows a timestamped trail of every call it made, letting the principal verify and, if needed, undo each one.

why_it_matters
An action audit log is the accountability half of agent trust; without it, a principal cannot verify or reverse what an autonomous agent did on their behalf.
