Recent AI agent incidents, including a supply chain attack on filesystem-pro-plus and vulnerabilities in RufRoot and Microsoft UFO, highlight a critical security flaw: audit logs are generated by the systems they are meant to monitor. This self-attestation gap means logs can be tampered with if the system is compromised. The author proposes a shift from detection-based security to verification through cryptographic receipts, which are signed artifacts that allow independent auditing of agent actions without trusting the agent's internal systems.
