Sellers implementing it MUST declare `governance.campaign` in `experimental_features`. See [experimental status](/docs/reference/experimental-status) for the full contract. Retrieve governance state and audit trail for a plan, multiple plans, or an entire portfolio. Returns budget tracking, validation history, and compliance summary. ## Request ```json theme={null} { "tool": "get_plan_audit_logs", "arguments": { "plan_ids": ["plan_q1_2026_launch"], "include_entries": true } } ``` Results are grouped by `governance_context` within each plan. Each governed action (media buy, rights license, signal activation, creative service) appears under its `governance_context`. **Multiple plans** -- retrieve specific plans in one call: ```json theme={null} { "tool": "get_plan_audit_logs", "arguments": { "plan_ids": ["plan_q1_2026_launch", "plan_q1_2026_emea"], "include_entries": false } } ``` **Portfolio query** -- retrieve combined audit data for all member plans in one or more portfolios: ```json theme={null} { "tool": "get_plan_audit_logs", "arguments": { "portfolio_plan_ids": ["portfolio_nova_brands_2026"], "include_entries": true } } ``` You can combine `plan_ids` and `portfolio_plan_ids` to query both specific plans and portfolios in a single call. ## Response ```json theme={null} { "plans": [ { "plan_id": "plan_q1_2026_launch", "plan_version": 1, "status": "active", "budget": { "authorized": 500000, "committed": 425000, "remaining": 75000, "utilization_pct": 85 }, "channel_allocation": { "olv": { "committed": 275000, "pct": 55 }, "display": { "committed": 150000, "pct": 30 } }, "governed_actions": [ { "governance_context": "gc_mb_seller_456", "purchase_type": "media_buy", "status": "active", "committed": 275000, "check_count": 8 }, { "governance_context": "gc_mb_seller_789", "purchase_type": "media_buy", "status": "active", "committed": 150000, "check_count": 7 }, { "governance_context": "gc_rights_acme_img", "purchase_type": "rights_license", "status": "active", "committed": 75000, "check_count": 2 } ], "summary": { "checks_performed": 14, "outcomes_reported": 12, "statuses": { "approved": 12, "denied": 1, "conditions": 1, "human_reviewed": 1 // also counted in approved or denied above; never counted in conditions (an agent-issued flow-control state, not a human resolution) }, "findings_count": 2, "escalations": [ { "check_id": "chk_esc_001", "reason": "Budget reallocation exceeds threshold", "resolution": "approved_by_human", "resolved_at": "2026-03-16T09:30:00Z" } ], "drift_metrics": { "escalation_rate": 0.07, "escalation_rate_trend": "stable", "auto_approval_rate": 0.80, "human_override_rate": 0.02, "mean_confidence": 0.88, "thresholds": { "escalation_rate_max": 0.20, "escalation_rate_min": 0.02, "auto_approval_rate_max": 0.95, "human_override_rate_max": 0.15 } } }, "entries": [ { "id": "chk_001", "type": "check", "timestamp": "2026-03-10T10:05:00Z", "caller": "https://orchestrator.pinnacle-media.com/agent", "tool": "get_products", "check_type": "intent", "verdict": "approved", "explanation": "Product discovery within budget and channel constraints.", "categories_evaluated": ["budget_authority", "strategic_alignment"], "policies_evaluated": ["us_coppa"] }, { "id": "chk_003", "type": "check", "timestamp": "2026-03-15T11:05:00Z", "caller": "https://ads.seller-example.com/adcp", "tool": "create_media_buy", "check_type": "execution", "mode": "enforce", "governance_context": "gc_mb_seller_456", "plan_hash": "oR0jFDEtzcwgPbNf-Ofd_fZHYfAyD1TRbzGOFBVCG-c", "purchase_type": "media_buy", "verdict": "approved", "explanation": "Media buy within plan budget ($150,000 of $500,000 remaining).

When present, only entries and summaries for the matching governed actions are returned. | | `purchase_types` | string\[] | No | Filter results by purchase type (e.g., `["rights_license"]` to see all rights activity). When present, only entries and summaries matching these purchase types are returned. | | `include_entries` | boolean | No | Include the full audit trail. Default: `false`. | ### Response | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `plans` | array | Audit data for each requested plan. | | `plans[].plan_id` | string | Plan identifier. | | `plans[].plan_version` | number | Current plan version. | | `plans[].status` | enum | `active`, `suspended`, or `completed`. | | `plans[].budget` | object | Budget state. | | `plans[].budget.authorized` | number | Total authorized budget from the plan. | | `plans[].budget.committed` | number | Total budget committed from confirmed outcomes. | | `plans[].budget.remaining` | number | Authorized minus committed. | | `plans[].budget.utilization_pct` | number | Committed as a percentage of authorized. | | `plans[].channel_allocation` | object | Current channel mix. Keyed by channel ID. | | `plans[].channel_allocation[channel].committed` | number | Budget committed to this channel. | | `plans[].channel_allocation[channel].pct` | number | Channel's share of the authorized total budget. | | `plans[].governed_actions` | array | Per-governed-action breakdown, grouped by `governance_context`. | | `plans[].governed_actions[].governance_context` | string | Opaque governance context identifying this governed action. | | `plans[].governed_actions[].purchase_type` | enum | `media_buy`, `rights_license`, `signal_activation`, or `creative_services`. | | `plans[].governed_actions[].status` | enum | `active`, `suspended`, or `completed`. | | `plans[].governed_actions[].committed` | number | Budget committed for this governed action. | | `plans[].governed_actions[].check_count` | integer | Number of governance checks performed. | | `plans[].summary` | object | Aggregate validation and outcome statistics. | | `plans[].summary.checks_performed` | number | Total governance checks performed. | | `plans[].summary.outcomes_reported` | number | Total outcomes reported. | | `plans[].summary.statuses` | object | Count of each governance check status (`approved`, `denied`, `conditions`). Also includes `human_reviewed` as a supplementary count — checks that required human review before resolving. Always a subset of `approved` + `denied`; `conditions` is an agent-issued flow-control state and is never counted here. | | `plans[].summary.findings_count` | number | Total findings across all checks and outcomes. | | `plans[].summary.escalations` | array | Checks that were escalated for human review and their resolutions. | | `plans[].summary.escalations[].check_id` | string | The governance check that was escalated. | | `plans[].summary.escalations[].reason` | string | Why the check was escalated. | | `plans[].summary.escalations[].resolution` | string | How it was resolved (e.g., `approved_by_human`, `rejected_by_human`). | | `plans[].summary.escalations[].resolved_at` | string | ISO 8601 resolution timestamp. | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics` | object | Aggregate governance metrics for detecting oversight drift. See [specification](/docs/governance/campaign/specification#drift-detection). | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.escalation_rate` | number | Fraction of checks that were escalated for human review (0-1). | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.escalation_rate_trend` | enum | `increasing`, `stable`, or `declining`. | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.auto_approval_rate` | number | Fraction of checks approved without human intervention (0-1). | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.human_override_rate` | number | Fraction of escalations where the human overrode the governance agent's recommendation (0-1). | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.mean_confidence` | number | Average confidence score across findings (0-1). Present when findings include confidence. | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.thresholds` | object | Organization-defined thresholds for drift metrics. When a metric crosses its threshold, the governance agent includes a finding. | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.thresholds.escalation_rate_max` | number | Maximum acceptable escalation rate. A rate above this may indicate policy miscalibration. | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.thresholds.escalation_rate_min` | number | Minimum acceptable escalation rate. A rate below this may indicate eroding oversight. | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.thresholds.auto_approval_rate_max` | number | Maximum acceptable auto-approval rate. | | `plans[].summary.drift_metrics.thresholds.human_override_rate_max` | number | Maximum acceptable human override rate. | | `plans[].entries` | array | Ordered audit trail (only when `include_entries` is `true`). | | `plans[].entries[].id` | string | Entry identifier. | | `plans[].entries[].type` | enum | `check` or `outcome`. | | `plans[].entries[].timestamp` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp. | | `plans[].entries[].plan_id` | string | Plan this entry belongs to. Present when querying multiple plans or a portfolio. | | `plans[].entries[].caller` | string | URL of the agent that made the request. Resolved from the credentials used on the governance callback. | | `plans[].entries[].tool` | string | The AdCP tool (present for `check` entries). | | `plans[].entries[].status` | enum | Governance check status (present for `check` entries). | | `plans[].entries[].check_type` | enum | `intent` or `execution` (present for `check` entries). Inferred from the fields present on the original check request. | | `plans[].entries[].mode` | enum | `audit`, `advisory`, or `enforce` — governance mode active when this check was evaluated. Recorded by the governance agent from its runtime configuration at check time, not from a plan field. Present on check entries; absent on outcome entries and on governance agents that have not yet adopted this field. Lets auditors distinguish `approved` decisions made under `enforce` from those made under `audit` (where the agent could not have blocked anything). | | `plans[].entries[].explanation` | string | Human-readable explanation of the governance decision (present for `check` entries). | | `plans[].entries[].policies_evaluated` | array | Registry policy IDs evaluated during this check. | | `plans[].entries[].categories_evaluated` | array | Governance categories evaluated (e.g., `budget_authority`, `regulatory_compliance`). **Agent-internal labels**, not a protocol-level enum — each string is defined by the governance agent's policy model. Since one governance agent per account composes all specialist review (legal, brand safety, category-specialist reviewers) behind its single endpoint, `categories_evaluated` and `findings[].details` are how internal decomposition surfaces for audit. Consumers MUST treat values as opaque labels: pattern-matching against a fixed list is not safe across agents. | | `plans[].entries[].findings` | array | Findings from this check, including category, severity, policy ID, explanation, and confidence. | | `plans[].entries[].governance_context` | string | Opaque governance context identifying the governed action this entry belongs to. | | `plans[].entries[].plan_hash` | string | Audit-layer binding to the plan revision this attestation was evaluated over — `base64url_no_pad(SHA-256(JCS(plan_payload)))` per [Plan binding and audit](/docs/governance/campaign/specification#plan-binding-and-audit). Present on `check` entries. Auditors and buyer-side compliance tooling verify by recomputing over the retained plan revision and byte-comparing the decoded 32-byte digests. | | `plans[].entries[].purchase_type` | enum | `media_buy`, `rights_license`, `signal_activation`, or `creative_services`. Present when the entry is associated with a specific governed action. | | `plans[].entries[].outcome` | enum | Outcome type (present for `outcome` entries). | | `plans[].entries[].committed_budget` | number | Budget committed (present for `completed` outcome entries). | | `plans[].entries[].outcome_status` | string | Outcome status (present for `outcome` entries). | ## Authorization The request schema does not carry an envelope `account` field — tenant identity is resolved from the submitted IDs. The governance agent MUST verify that the authenticated principal is authorized for every `plan_ids` member, every plan expanded from `portfolio_plan_ids`, and every governed action addressed by `governance_contexts`. When any element fails the authorization check the governance agent MUST fail closed with a generic `PLAN_NOT_FOUND` response — the error body MUST NOT distinguish "unauthorized" from "not found" or name the offending ID. See [Agent and Account Isolation](/docs/building/implementation/security#agent-and-account-isolation) for the pattern and existence-leak guardrails. ## Error codes | Code | Recovery | Description | | ---------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `PLAN_NOT_FOUND` | correctable | No plan with this ID, or the authenticated principal is not authorized for it. The two cases MUST be indistinguishable in the response to prevent plan-ID enumeration. | ## Related tasks * [`sync_plans`](./sync_plans) -- Push or update plans * [`check_governance`](./check_governance) -- Validate actions against the plan * [`report_plan_outcome`](./report_plan_outcome) -- Report outcomes to update plan state
