description: The Agent Failure Mode Registry (AFMR) is a reputation-integrity standard for agentic commerce. AFMR
  1.0 is a published, citable vocabulary of 32 permanent failure-mode families in eight classes describing how autonomous
  agent systems fail as designed mechanisms; afmr.ai is the independent public front door and machine-discovery
  router for it. The site publishes a read-only Discovery API described by an OpenAPI 3.1 document (CC BY 4.0),
  a public read-only MCP server (Streamable HTTP at /api/rpc, listed in the official MCP Registry as ai.afmr/discovery),
  an A2A 1.0 agent card and JSON-RPC endpoint, llms.txt / llms-full.txt, a Reputation Attestation Working Draft
  0.1 (human spec, JSON Schema 2020-12, verifier requirements), a pinned governance-and-voting binding, an intentionally
  empty endpoint-conformance registry and a configuration-only Lift Evidence index. The AFMR 1.0 vocabulary itself
  is governed from the editor's GitHub machine index and is not mirrored on afmr.ai.
