Multi-agent AI systems require handoff receipts for effective auditing

In multi-agent AI systems, auditing becomes significantly more complex than with single agents. A common approach of using a shared log for all agent interactions is often insufficient for effective auditing. The critical issue lies not in tool correctness, but in the handoff process between agents, where one agent delegates a task to another. A handoff receipt, a structured record created at the moment of delegation, is proposed as a solution. This receipt should include details like parent and child run IDs, the exact task delegated, inherited versus used scope, credential identity, and policy decisions, providing a clear audit trail for each agent's actions and responsibilities.
