A new library called `obstat` has been developed to address the limitations of traditional agent audit logs. Unlike existing systems that log decisions after tool execution, `obstat` writes and fsyncs the authorization decision to disk before the tool body runs. This ensures that the log accurately reflects what was permitted, even if the process crashes mid-execution, distinguishing between a call that was never authorized and one that was authorized but failed to log. The library also enforces single-use approvals for specific resources and arguments, with only a fingerprint of the arguments being recorded to protect sensitive data. AI
