Evidence and Artifacts

What scan artifacts exist and how reviewers should use them.

What this is

Artifacts are local files that preserve scanner evidence, graph paths, decisions, and optional model analysis.

When to use it

Use artifacts when reviewing a finding, exporting proof, or debugging a rule.

Command or example

ls .agent-permit/runs/<run_id>

Output to expect

Important files include:

  • summary.md
  • risk-report.md
  • permit.yaml
  • raw-findings.json
  • graph-paths.json
  • controls.json
  • run-metrics.json
  • agent-investigation.md

How to interpret it

Use Markdown files for human review. Use JSON and YAML files for automation, dashboards, tests, and AI analysis.

Common mistakes

  • Publishing generated artifacts without redaction.
  • Reading agent-investigation.md without checking citations.
  • Moving artifacts out of the run folder and breaking path context.
