What it does

This example demonstrates a realistic two-agent email automation workflow with comprehensive failure handling:
  1. Register two agents — a planner (Agent A) and an executor (Agent B)
  2. Agent A reads calendar events after offline scope verification
  3. Agent A delegates email:send to Agent B (subset of its own scopes)
  4. Agent B sends an email using the delegated, scoped permission
  5. Failure: unauthorized scope — Agent B tries calendar:read (not delegated) and is rejected immediately
  6. Failure: cascade revocation — Agent A’s grant is revoked, which automatically invalidates Agent B’s delegated token
  7. Recovery pattern — Agent B detects the revoked token and reports that a new delegation is needed
  8. Audit trail inspection — shows a timeline of all success and failure events across both agents

​
Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • Docker (Docker Desktop or Docker Engine with Compose)

​
Run

Start the local Grantex stack from the repository root: 
docker compose up --build
In a separate terminal, run the example: 
cd examples/multi-agent-email-flow
npm install
npm start

Expected output

=== Multi-Agent Email Flow ===

Agent A (planner) registered: ag_01HXYZ...
Agent B (executor) registered: ag_01HXYZ...

Agent A grant token:
  grantId: grnt_01HXYZ...
  scopes:  calendar:read, email:send

--- Agent A: Reading calendar ---
Scope verified offline: calendar:read
Calendar events found: 3

--- Agent A: Delegating email:send to Agent B ---
Delegated token issued:
  scopes:  email:send
  delegationDepth: 1

--- Agent B: Sending email ---
Email sent: msg_1234567890

--- Failure: Agent B tries calendar:read (not delegated) ---
Blocked! Agent B cannot read calendar.

--- Failure: Revoking Agent A's grant (cascade to Agent B) ---
After revocation:
  Agent A token valid: false (revoked)
  Agent B token valid: false (cascade revoked)

--- Audit trail ---
  [+] Agent A calendar:read — success
  [+] Agent B email:send — success
  [x] Agent B calendar:read — failure
  [x] Agent B email:send — failure

Done! Multi-agent email flow with failure handling complete.
