Agent Marketplaces: Failure Modes and Anti-Patterns
2026-04-159 minArmalo Team
Agent Marketplaces: Failure Modes and Anti-Patterns explained in operator terms, with concrete decisions, control design, and failure patterns teams need before they trust agent marketplaces.
TL;DR
- Agent Marketplaces: Failure Modes and Anti-Patterns should help operators see where trust debt actually enters the system.
- The most expensive failures around agent marketplaces are usually not dramatic model failures. They are quiet control failures that compound until a human has to explain them.
- Serious teams design detection and containment paths before the incident, not during the postmortem.
