## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-failure-archive-a3d55f9f
```

Example prompt: Pull up the Agent Failure Archive — I want to browse through those 186 post-mortems documenting what went wrong during 8 months of running a multi-session AI agent system.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-world, human-documented post-mortems from an actual long-running AI agent deployment rather than synthetic or theoretical failure analysis. It is particularly valuable for researchers, agent developers, or practitioners who want empirical data on what goes wrong in multi-session agent systems over months of operation.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not processed — endpoint requires $0.05 USDC per call via x402 protocol; unpaid requests will be rejected
- Tailscale network host (tailfeb765.ts.net) may be offline or unreachable if the operator's machine is not running
- Service may return stale data if posts have not been updated recently
- No query filtering supported — full archive is returned, no partial retrieval

## 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-mortems documenting failures encountered during 8 months of operating a multi-session AI agent system, in the context of measuring one person's individuation. The response likely contains structured or narrative failure records including what went wrong, when, and possibly why.
