Adds AVE to Security Guardrails & Firewalls, subcategory Prompt & Runtime Guardrails, directly after the existing OWASP LLM Top 10 entry -- same category and subcategory, a classification framework rather than a runtime tool, matching that entry's precedent.

What

AVE (Agentic Vulnerability Enumeration) is an open standard assigning stable identifiers to behavioral vulnerability classes in agentic AI components (MCP servers, agent skills, LLM plugins), scored with OWASP's AIVSS framework. It crosswalks into OWASP's MCP Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS. github.com/aveproject/ave, Apache 2.0.

Precedent check

Before drafting, checked all open/closed issues and PRs in this repo for a stated landscape-entry contribution process and for any prior proposal, addition, or rejection of a similar classification standard/taxonomy. Found none -- no existing AVE entry, no prior competing proposal. Followed the pattern from #25/#27 (goose) and #29/#30 (agentgateway, AGENTS.md) instead: cite real metadata, verify URLs directly, note the placement reasoning.

Validation

  • landscape/landscape.yml parses as valid YAML.
  • Entry conforms to docs/data-schemas.md: required name, homepage_url (https, verified 200), description (no marketing superlatives), project: external (matches OWASP LLM Top 10 and other non-member standards in this file); optional repo_url included and verified (200).
  • homepage_url and repo_url both checked directly, not assumed.
  • Checked the whole file for any existing AVE or similarly-named entry first -- none found.

AI assistance note: AI assistance was used to draft this contribution. I reviewed the final text against the repository schema, the live landscape.yml content, and the contribution guidelines before submitting.

…Firewalls

Open standard for behavioral vulnerability classification in agentic
AI components, same category and subcategory as the existing OWASP
LLM Top 10 entry (Security Guardrails & Firewalls / Prompt & Runtime
Guardrails), a classification framework rather than a runtime tool.

Checked for precedent first: no existing or previously-proposed entry
for AVE or a similar classification standard anywhere in
landscape.yml or in the repo's open/closed issues and PRs.
