Grok Bot’s enterprise documentation separates administrative audit logs from records of the work Bots actually perform. Its security guide says Action Recording is Enterprise-only and switched off by default. When enabled, those action records enter an internal store with 90-day retention; organizations receive them through a configured OpenTelemetry collector. They do not appear on the ordinary Audit Log page. These are vendor-described controls in documentation updated October 12, rather than a newly announced October 19 release or findings from our own testing.
The recording also has deliberate limits. Computer-use records omit screenshots, clicks and typed text. Exporting conversation content requires additional opt-ins for prompts and responses, while hosted MCP tool arguments and results require a separate Tool I/O toggle. Re-enabling these exports does not recover earlier messages or calls. The enterprise guide says content is scrubbed, but warns that automated redaction cannot catch every secret or piece of personal information. A record that an action occurred is therefore different from a complete replay of what the agent saw and did.
Editorial take: Decide what a reviewer needs to establish before assigning consequential work. A team might need to identify who requested an action, which approval permitted it, or whether the expected result reached another system. Those questions call for different evidence. Test a harmless task through the chosen logging setup and confirm the records arrive somewhere the responsible reviewer can inspect. Keep the final output and destination receipt alongside the operational record. More extensive content capture can help investigations, but it also creates another copy of potentially private information that needs appropriate access and retention decisions.
