Agent Creation Logs
The Logs page provides a complete audit trail of all agent creation activities, including successful creations, pending approvals, denials, and errors. Use it to monitor agent behavior, investigate issues, and satisfy compliance requirements.

Best Practices
- Review logs weekly - Regular review helps identify patterns and potential issues early
- Investigate errors - Error outcomes often indicate configuration problems that should be addressed
- Monitor risk scores - A trend of increasing risk scores may indicate agents are pushing boundaries
- Export important logs - Download logs for significant events (first creation, denied requests, errors) for your records
- Use date filters for investigations - When troubleshooting, narrow the date range to the relevant period
- Cross-reference with approvals - If a log shows "pending_approval", check the Approvals page to ensure it gets reviewed
