How to verify and audit an AI agent's work steps
Checking an AI agent's execution history ensures it completed your exact request accurately without taking unwanted side actions. This workflow helps you spot missing source material, unexpected web forms, or hallucinated claims before relying on the final summary.
Try it yourself
- 1Expand the agent's work log before reading its final response to review every search query and visited page.
- 2Verify whether the agent followed your specific instructions rather than completing an easier adjacent task.
- 3Look for unauthorized actions, such as visiting unexpected websites, opening unrelated files, or filling out online forms.
- 4Compare every statement in the generated summary directly against the recorded execution steps.
- 5Request a complete list of used sources and extracted details if the tool does not automatically display step-by-step logs.
