Studio and Showcases

If you're evaluating ANIP, this is the fastest path to understanding what it does. Run a showcase app and open Studio to explore the full protocol surface visually.

Quick start

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/anip-protocol/anip.git
cd anip

# Install the travel showcase and its dependencies
cd examples/showcase/travel
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run it
python app.py

Now open http://localhost:9100/studio/ in your browser.

What to explore in Studio

1. Discovery — see the full service shape: capabilities, trust posture, endpoints
2. Manifest — expand each capability to see side-effect declarations, cost hints, required scopes, input/output contracts
3. Invoke — select a capability, enter demo-human-key as the bearer token, fill in inputs, and invoke. See success results or structured failures with resolution guidance
4. Audit — browse the audit log to see every invocation recorded with event classification

Try these scenarios

See permission discovery in action

1. Go to the Invoke view → select book_flight
2. Enter demo-human-key → permissions panel shows what's available vs. restricted
3. Try invoking — see the structured failure if scope or budget is insufficient

Compare side-effect types

• search_flights is read — safe to call speculatively
• book_flight is irreversible — the manifest warns the agent this is permanent

See structured failures

• Invoke book_flight with a budget below the flight cost
• The failure response includes failure.type, failure.detail, failure.resolution.action, and failure.resolution.grantable_by

All three showcases

Showcase	Command	Key patterns
Travel	cd examples/showcase/travel && python app.py	Cost signaling, irreversibility, compensation
Finance	cd examples/showcase/finance && python app.py	Financial operations, budget delegation
DevOps	cd examples/showcase/devops && python app.py	Transactional rollback, infrastructure changes

Each runs at http://localhost:9100 with Studio at /studio/.
