I dont think that you need that. So you shoudnt be lost at all

I dont think so, You dont need independent proof until you are in court, Perplexity and Amazon both had logs, neither could prove who was behind thoses actions or who authorized what!

You may be right but I'm not convinced

Can you use public-key signatures like RSA/ECDSA like TLS certificates do but for agents entering logs? So the private key remains private to agent only, not even the LLM. Also, each log entry could include the hash of the previous one before the agent signs it so any alternation in previous log signatures break the ones after it, like block chains do.

Yes true, and this is somehow we are doing it. However, integrity is necessary but not sufficient, the chain proves nothing was changed It doesnt prove the record was accurate

What do you mean by accurate? As in what was an entered by the agent a truth account of what happened or as in someone didn't come in to modify the log that agent entered?
