Agent Commerce · Audit
AI transaction audit log
Every Agent Commerce transaction produces a complete audit trail: authorization record, policy decision, execution event, and an Ed25519-signed receipt — with lineage and replay built into the workflow.
What the audit trail covers
Each transaction lifecycle generates four linked records. Together they form a complete, tamper-evident chain from intent to proof.
01
Authorization record
Every spend request generates an authorization record before any rail is called. The record captures the policy decision — allowed, blocked, or needs_review — with the policy ID and evaluated rules.
02
Execution event
When the rail executes, an execution event is recorded with timestamp, rail, counterparty, and outcome. Blocked requests produce a block record, not a receipt.
03
Signed receipt
On successful execution, an Ed25519-signed receipt is issued. The receipt binds amount, agent, policy decision, artifact hash, and timestamp into a tamper-evident artifact.
04
Public verification
Any receipt can be verified at /agent-commerce/payment-verification — no account required. The signature validates or it does not.
Audit capabilities
The audit layer is built into the transaction model — not a separate reporting system.
Transaction lineage
Trace any receipt back through the full chain: quote → policy evaluation → authorization → execution → receipt issuance. Each step is linked by transaction ID.
Transaction replay
Reconstruct the full lifecycle of any completed transaction from stored event records. Useful for finance review, legal discovery, and compliance audits.
Execution evidence export
Available on Govern tier and above. Export structured transaction records for integration with internal audit systems, compliance tooling, or data warehouses.
Independent verification
Receipts are independently verifiable by any third party — auditors, counterparties, finance teams. No platform access required to confirm a transaction occurred.
What the audit record looks like
Each receipt includes the fields needed to reconstruct and verify the full transaction without accessing internal systems.
