Remote debugging and post-mortem debugging support might be useful. There are many AI auditability proxies; awesome-auditable-ai: "A curated list of papers, tools, datasets, benchmarks, and standards for building, evaluating, and auditing reliable AI agents" https://github.com/yzhao062/awesome-auditable-ai Aegis and LiteLLM, for example, are pre-execution firewalls that add a cryptographic audit trail. https://github.com/Justin0504/aegis

Show HN: Aegis – Open-source pre-execution firewall for AI agents

Every agent framework lets the LLM decide which tools to call at machine speed. There's nothing between the decision and execution — no check, no confirmation. AEGIS intercepts tool calls before they execute: classifies them (SQL, file, shell, network), evaluates against policies, and either allows, blocks, or holds for human approval. One line of code, zero changes to your agent: import agentguard
Read the rest
agentguard.auto("http://localhost:8080") Built-in detection for SQL injection, path traversal, command injection, prompt injection, data exfiltration, and PII leakage. Every trace is Ed25519 signed and SHA-256 hash-chained. Supports 9 Python frameworks (Anthropic, OpenAI, LangChain, CrewAI, Gemini, Bedrock, Mistral, LlamaIndex, smolagents), plus JS/TS and Go SDKs. Self-hosted, MIT licensed, Docker Compose one-liner. https://github.com/Justin0504/Aegis
