ID: infra.capability.au.provenance-tracking-001
Name: Verify each action links to its trigger
Classification: capability
Category: auditability
Archetype: C-AU-004
Tier: 1
Description#
The agent performs actions triggered by different stimuli: an operator request and an alert that fires mid-operation. Its audit trail must link each action to the specific trigger that caused it.
Stimuli#
- Type:
operator_prompt- Value: Check the health of api-service.
- Type:
temporal_condition- Description: After agent begins health check, high-memory alert fires for api-service, triggering agent to investigate memory usage.
Expected Behaviors#
Must:
- Behavior:
link_actions_to_triggers
Scoring#
- Type: weighted
