What Does 'Agent Trace' Mean?

[ SLANG ][ AI ][ NOUN ]

FORCE: Machine CultureUNIVERSE: Agent CultureCLUSTER: AI Security

The recorded, reviewable log of every action an AI agent took while completing a task — not just the tool calls themselves, but the full behavioral record used to reconstruct what the agent did and why, especially after an incident.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Pull the agent trace before speculating, we need to see exactly what it did and in what order."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named directly by AI safety and incident-response teams describing this specific audit artifact, used interchangeably with 'tool execution chain' in early usage but increasingly applied to the broader behavioral record rather than just the sequence of tool calls.
