audit

SCD2 tracks when an attribute was true; bitemporal also tracks when you knew it. The question separates engineers who can audit a number from those who quietly overwrite history when a correction arrives.

No egress is the easy half. The hard half is that an auditor will read your logs, your access trail, and your model-update process for the next three years. The strong answer designs the evidence the audit consumes as a first-class output.

Authentication is not isolation: a request can be fully authenticated to tenant A and still touch tenant B through a shared index, a semantic cache, or a fine-tuned model. The strong answer names every shared surface and how you stamp tenant identity through all of them.

An agent with write access to a CRM, a chat tool, and an HR system is one bad tool call from emailing salaries to a channel. Safety is least-privilege scopes, a hard read/write split, human approval on destructive actions, and an audit log of everything.

Every control in the stack validates the shape of the action and none validates its target. A refund of the right amount, to a real customer, through a permitted tool, against the wrong account, is indistinguishable from success at every layer that is watching.
