The Agent Incident Registry: Toward Preventing Repeated AI Agent Failures
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.11030v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents increasingly act through tools and delegated authority, but general incident repositories rarely capture the mechanisms needed to compare public failures with agent-security evaluations. We present the Agent Incident Registry (AIR), a source-linked catalog containing \N{} records of agent-related events disclosed from \Yfirst{} through \Ylast{}. Each record includes supporting evidence, a stable identifier, and missingness-aware labels for causal role, disclosure class, mechanism, and outcome. Among the \Nprimary{} generative-system rec

Why it matters
This development is a reminder to test misuse and data-leak scenarios alongside speed and quality. Trust should come from testable controls and clear failure reporting, not protection claims alone.
