Proposed Changes

Standardizing error logging within the messages.py module to enhance robustness against potential log injection and spoofing risks. The current implementation often passes raw exception strings directly into the logger's extra context or uses f-strings for error messages. In a decentralized agent environment where exception data might originate from untrusted remote endpoints, this practice can lead to misleading or malformed logs.

By transitioning to parameterized logging, external data is handled safely by the logging framework. This adjustment improves the overall reliability of the agent's telemetry without affecting existing message-handling logic.

  • Checks and tests pass locally

Further comments

Parameterized logging is a standard practice to ensure telemetry integrity, especially when dealing with data derived from external network exceptions.
