CMU Paper: 0 of 4 Policy Violations Provable from OpenClaw Agent Logs

rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-10-14

A new Carnegie Mellon paper, Holding Agents Accountable with Verifiable Agent Insurance, examines auditability of AI agents. It found that 0 of 4 policy violations in OpenClaw could be proven from logs — approvals and permissions were often buried in chat text, unusable as audit evidence.

The paper also found only 10–30% of violating runs needed human judgment, meaning most agent rule-breaking could be adjudicated automatically. A key warning for any team relying on agent logs for compliance audits: logs ≠ verifiable evidence.
