Mastra Guardrails Expose Decision Audit Logs

This is a practical observability upgrade that turns guardrails from opaque enforcement middleware into auditable policy checkpoints.

• –Capturing allowed decisions matters as much as logging blocks when teams need complete compliance evidence.
• –App-owned logging gives developers control over retention, schemas, alerting, and integration with existing security tooling.
• –The callback complements, rather than replaces, Mastra’s violation callbacks, which focus mainly on aborted runs. [Guardrails docs](https://mastra.ai/docs/agents/guardrails)
• –Audit trails still cannot correct classifier drift or false positives; teams should pair them with policy versioning, access controls, and tamper-resistant storage.
