- 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.
