Tool descriptions logged with each call (forensic).

Cell notes

Sentinels, Authorization / In-agent

Control. Tool descriptions logged with each call (forensic).

Strength. Forensic only.

Tooling

  • - Whatever logs your agent runtime emits per tool call. For Claude Code, see ~/.claude/sessions/.

Files in this directory

(None. The capture is a property of the agent runtime; the shipping is handled by ../../identity/in-agent/ship-sessions.sh.)

Verification

Find a known tool call in the shipped session log and confirm its description was captured.

Common mistakes

  • - Trusting tool descriptions in the session log to be authoritative for what the tool will actually do. Tool-description rug-pull (see ../../supply-chain/) means the description at call time may differ from the description at approval time.
