logging

logging is a skill for Claude Code from RedHatProductSecurity/prodsec-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (776 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of requirements for recording access to sensitive data used by AI systems. The records cover who accessed or changed data, when it happened, failed access attempts, bulk operations, connections, and schema changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing logging for databases and other data services, including structured records, user identity, configurable output, and forwarding logs to security monitoring systems.
Why use it?
It creates an audit trail for investigating misuse, failed access, data changes, and large exports from external data sources.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

logging scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Logging for External Data Source Access

Security Requirement

If the data contained and served by external data sources is sensitive, accesses to them MUST be logged. The product SHOULD have the functionality to send these events to an external logging facility using industry standards.

What to Log

Event Details to Capture
Data access Who accessed what data, when, from where
Data modification Who modified what data, what changed
Access denial Failed access attempts (authentication or authorization failures)
Bulk operations Large data exports or queries
Connection events Connection establishment and teardown
Schema changes Structural changes to data sources

Logging Requirements

Requirement Details
External logging facility Logs must be sendable to an external SIEM or logging platform
Industry standard protocols Use syslog, OTLP, Fluentd, or equivalent
Structured format JSON with consistent field names
Principal identity Every log entry includes the authenticated principal
Configurable Customers must be able to configure the external log destination
Non-repudiation Logs should not be modifiable by the application

Log Safety

Rule Rationale
No secrets in logs Credentials, API keys, and session tokens must never appear in log output
No PII in logs Personally identifiable information creates compliance and privacy risks
No session identifiers Session IDs in logs can enable session hijacking
Log injection prevention Untrusted input in logs can exploit log viewers (XSS, RCE in parsers); sanitize all values before logging
Trusted system logging Logging controls must run on a trusted system (server-side), not client-side

What to Log

Log both success and failure of security events:

  • Authentication attempts, especially failures
  • Access control failures
  • Tampering events (unexpected state changes)
  • Invalid or expired session token usage
  • System exceptions
  • Administrative functions and security configuration changes
  • Bulk data operations and large exports

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

logging is a skill published in the GitHub repository RedHatProductSecurity/prodsec-skills (52 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 776 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
