Log Redaction
A technical means of masking, hashing, or discarding sensitive fields within the log-writing pipeline, retaining only behavioral metadata to balance auditing requirements with data security.

The original text proposes four control measures: a data retention inventory and mapping, active clearing of context and caches, separate governance of logs and audit records, and a vendor-side confirmation mechanism.
A common approach to log redaction is to insert a filter into the log-writing pipeline that masks, hashes or simply drops fields such as prompts, tool return results and the body text of retrieved documents, retaining only behavioral metadata such as call time, tool name, token count and status code.
Once logs are written and enter archiving or third-party SIEM systems, the cost of retroactive deletion rises exponentially, so redaction rules should be configured before the agent goes live.
