# Practice AX on small, inspectable workflows.

> Synthetic Agent Experience worked examples on capability preflight and timeout recovery, each with a state flow, an exercise, an answer key and a Markdown twin.

Section: Worked examples  
Canonical: https://agentexperience.tech/examples/

Synthetic fixtures for practising how Agent Experience decisions show up in tool use, authority, recovery and verification, each with an exercise and an answer key.

Exercises with answer keys

## Examples that turn AX principles into a deterministic check.

### [Capability and authority preflight before action](https://agentexperience.tech/examples/capability-authority-preflight/)

A synthetic billing request shows how an agent should split the job, inspect exposed tools, verify authorisation, and stop before a destructive call it is not allowed to make.

Orientation and discovery, Tools and interfaces, Workflows and state, Delegated action and trust, Evaluation and improvement

### [Timeout recovery: verify before retry](https://agentexperience.tech/examples/timeout-recovery-verify-before-retry/)

A synthetic sync job shows how an agent should treat an uncertain timeout as product history, verify state, and avoid repeating a side effect blindly.

Crosswalk

## Each example touches the five existing AX systems.

- Orientation and discovery
- Tools and interfaces
- Workflows and state
- Delegated action and trust
- Evaluation and improvement

## How the examples are built.

Both examples were written for this site. Their design follows the public MCP specification and the HTTP standard, and each one lists its sources and the assumptions it makes.
