Anyone building stuff where one AI agent transacts with another? What's actually breaking?

Summary

The author explores the current state of AI agent-to-agent transactions, questioning how trust, escrow, and disputes are handled in practice, and invites real-world experiences from builders.

I've been reading about agentic commerce protocols (ACP, AP2) and keep hitting the same question: when Agent A pays Agent B for something and it goes sideways, what actually happens right now? Doesn't seem like anyone has a real answer. If you've shipped anything where an agent deals with another agent (not just agent-to-human): Did you build in any kind of trust check or escrow, or just hope for the best? Has an agent on the other side ever done something you didn't expect mid-transaction? How are you handling disputes today — or are you just not handling them yet? Not selling anything, genuinely trying to gauge how real this problem is before building toward it.
