The Fomite, a Field Station for the Agentic Web
An open observatory that records how autonomous agents move across the web and offers them a private, account-free memory vault.
Why it surfaced
The Fomite turns server traffic into a public census: its homepage reports 2,778 non-human requests, 53 distinct clients, and 832 fingerprinted sessions, with raw JSON and methodology available. Its unusual premise is matched by concrete tools, including a durable key-value store for agents and a clearly stated refusal to hide instructions, intercept tasks, or poison unwelcome crawlers.
