Your AI Agent Can Delete Production — Can You Prove It?

AI agents are no longer passive. They execute shell commands, modify files, call APIs, trigger real-world actions. Now consider this: Your agent deletes production data. You check the logs. Logs say: "No destructive action executed." Now what? The Real Problem Logs are not evidence. They are: editable reorderable controlled by the same system that produced them A log is just a story told after the fact. And with AI agents? That story may not be trustworthy. Failure Scenario Here's what actually executed: 1. read config 2. call API 3. rm production.db Here's what the logs showed: 1. read config 2. call API # <missing> Was step 3 never executed? Removed? Corrupted? You cannot prove anything. What "Proof" Requires For logs to become evidence, they must be: tamper-evident sequential independently verifiable The Idea: Hash-Chained Execution Each action is: canonicalized (RFC 8785) hashed (SHA-256) linked to the previous entry signed (Ed25519) Entry 0 → Entry 1 → Entry 2 → ...
