AgentLoupe: Kernel-Resident Semantic Causal Labels for AI Agent Observability
A kernel-resident tracing framework ties AI-agent tool invocations back to their originating LLM call—even for delayed executions—closing a gap that hampers security auditing of autonomous enterprise agents.

arXiv:2610.23233v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents translate user intents into system actions via tool invocations. Accurately attributing these actions to their originating LLM interactions is essential for security auditing, yet existing methods, such as AgentSight, fail for delayed execution and cross-process-lineage behaviors. We present AgentLoupe, an application-transparent eBPF-based observability tool. The core insight of AgentLoupe is to embed causal identity into kernel resourc
Editorial Analysis
As AI agents proliferate in enterprise workflows, the inability to attribute autonomous actions to their originating intent creates audit and incident-response blind spots this research directly addresses.
Assess whether your current observability stack can attribute AI-agent tool calls to originating prompts, and plan integration of kernel-level causal tracing.
