I analyzed 60 documented AI coding-agent failures — 47% were critical, and the root cause usually wasn’t the model

I've been maintaining a CVE-style database of real, sourced AI agent failures. With 60 catalogued, the patterns are clear enough to write up: security vulnerabilities and destructive actions make up about half, 47% are critical, and the most common root cause is confidence miscalibration - agents acting decisively on unverified assumptions.
