Why this decision matters
Enterprise knowledge and agent systems should connect document access, retrieval sources, model answers, tool calls and human approval in one audit trail.
Each answer or action should be traceable to user identity, document version, cited source, model and prompt configuration, tool result and any human review record.
Conditions to confirm before development
- Apply least privilege by user, department, document and action
- Record retrieved passages, source documents and document versions
- Record model, prompt configuration, tool parameters and execution results
- Require human approval for external, write or high-risk actions
Implementation and delivery approach
Define identity, knowledge permissions and tool permissions before implementation, then establish consistent log fields, correlation IDs, retention and redaction rules.
Acceptance tests should include unauthorized access, unsupported answers, tool failure, duplicate execution and rejected approvals to verify refusal and trace records.
Acceptance boundary
Logging improves traceability but does not guarantee answer correctness. Document governance and human responsibility remain necessary.
