Which agent called which tool? Reddit thread on agent identity and verifiable logs
fred_pcp · reddit · 2026-11-07
Reddit user fredpcp raises a practical ops problem for teams running tool-calling agents: a month later, can you answer which agent made a call, whether it's still "the same" agent after restarts or model swaps, and whether the log itself is trustworthy?
- Common fixes (one API key per agent, session IDs, or nothing) all break on renames or restarts
- Proposed direction: give each agent its own keypair, sign its actions, and chain log entries — "which agent" becomes a verifiable signature, "same agent" becomes the same key
- Author discloses building PiQrypt on the open AISS standard (MIT), v1.11.1 released this week with a Hermes plugin and a free tier
- Thread invites discussion on how others handle agent attribution and log integrity
