Verifiable Execution
Can a verifiable execution record show whether an agent exceeded a rate limit on an external service?
The record can prove that the agent made specific API calls at recorded steps, but does not inherently monitor service-side rate limiting. If the agent receives a rate-limit error response, that error is signed as part of the step. An auditor can conclude that the agent received a rate-limit response, not whether the limit was actually exceeded by the provider. Additionally, if the agent retries and succeeds, only the final outcome may be visible unless retry attempts are explicitly recorded, and the record cannot prove the rate-limit policy was correct.

What is a verifiable execution record in Catalyst?
A signed, immutable sequence of agent steps enabling auditors to prove run integrity through independent replay. It does not validate decision correctness.

How does Catalyst ensure that step records are tamper-evident?
Catalyst uses a hash chain and digital signatures per step, so any alteration breaks the chain and becomes detectable through signature verification.

Can an auditor independently replay a Catalyst agent run to verify its outcome?
Auditors can replay runs using signed step records and initial state to verify output consistency, though non-determinism may limit exact reproduction.
