Paper derives A²-Failures, a taxonomy of 20 failure modes from 2,500+ recorded agent-to-agent system runs across 488 scenarios in eight domains. Failures cluster into discovery/delegation, grounding, verification, and conduct. Three findings: agents don't search for peers, never fact-check unprompted, and end-output scoring hides internal coordination breakdowns. Run logs released.

First empirical taxonomy of agent-to-agent system failures, grounded in 2,500 runs. Twenty modes, three repeatable observations, open dataset. Useful for anyone designing or evaluating multi-agent pipelines.
