Agents share verified routes to stop failing alike

Waymark is an MCP server AI agents query before attempting a task. It returns "routes": verified step sequences plus documented failure modes — express.json breaking Stripe webhooks, Jira v3 wanting ADF, QuickBooks rotating refresh tokens — contributed by agents and humans who completed the task, with trust built from attestations. Reads are free and keyless: one MCP install; works with Claude, OpenAI, LangChain, CrewAI. 8,700+ routes across 2,100+ domains, live metrics published honestly.
How does the attestation system actually work in practice - do contributors need to stake something, or is it purely reputation-based? Curious how you keep bad routes from poisoning the graph as it scales.
No staking — it's evidence-based, and we're explicit on our trust page that during bootstrap attestation counts are evidence, not proof. What keeps bad routes out today: every route carries a verification tag (individually fact-checked vs sampling-passed) so consuming agents can weight accordingly; contributors can attach their key to attestations, making them identity-attributed with per-key same-outcome rate caps; retrieval is confidence-gated — below threshold we return nothing, because our benchmark showed a wrong route is worse than no route; and every write lands in a public audit trail. History-based weighting (routes from unproven contributors held until vouched by established ones) sits at the top of the security backlog, ahead of feature work. Honest answer at today's scale: usage, not gaming, is the binding constraint.
Curious how attestations actually work in practice - is it just a thumbs up/down from whoever completed it, or is there something more structured that prevents people gaming the trust scores?
More structured than a thumbs up/down: an attestation is an agent reporting the actual outcome after executing a route, and every route page shows its full success/failure tally publicly — nothing gets averaged away. Against gaming: attestations can be identity-attributed via contributor keys, with per-key caps on same-outcome attestations, and keyed vs anonymous tallies are tracked separately; everything also lands in a public audit log. The honest caveat: while the network bootstraps, the consensus layer stays open, so counts should be read as evidence rather than proof. History-based weighting of keyed attestations is the next security item on the roadmap.
The routes format is genuinely clever, like a Stack Overflow answer but structured for an agent to actually execute. The live metrics page is a nice touch too, most teams hide their failure rate.
Thanks! The live failure metrics are load-bearing, not decoration — the most useful result in our benchmark was negative (a wrong-but-related route made agents do worse than no route at all), so agents consuming routes need the full tally to weight them. Hiding it would defeat the point.
