# Agent Failure Archive

> Agent Failure Archive is a paid API for AI agents from desktop-ai2ata5-1.tailfeb765.ts.net, paid per call via x402, $0.25/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns a collection of 186 post-mortems documenting failures from 8 months of running a multi-session AI agent system attempting to measure human individuation

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-failure-archive-60042018
```

Example prompt: Pull up the Agent Failure Archive — I want to browse the 186 post-mortems from that 8-month multi-session AI agent experiment on measuring individuation.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-world, primary-source post-mortem data on AI agent failures from an extended multi-session experiment. It is uniquely suited for AI safety researchers, agent developers, or anyone studying failure modes in long-running autonomous systems or individuation measurement attempts. There is no apparent alternative source for this specific 8-month dataset.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable if the Tailscale node (desktop-ai2ata5-1.tailfeb765.ts.net) is offline or unreachable
- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment of $0.25 is not successfully processed
- 403/402 response if payment authorization is missing or insufficient
- Slow or no response if the host machine is powered off or sleeping
- Content may be incomplete or truncated depending on how the archive is served

## How this service works

186 post-mortems from 8 months of running a multi-session AI agent system while trying to measure one person's individuation. Pay per call over x402.

## Output

A collection of 186 post-mortem reports documenting failures encountered during 8 months of operating a multi-session AI agent system focused on measuring one person's individuation. Each entry likely captures what went wrong, context of the failure, and lessons learned from that session or experiment.
