What is AX?

Agent Experience (AX) measures how well an API serves AI agents as first-class consumers. Unlike UX which optimizes for human perception, AX optimizes for determinism, auditability, recoverability, and token efficiency. The AX standard defines 13 principles that any API can be scored against.

The 13 Principles

1. Clarity Over Cleverness — explicit, unambiguous responses
2. Errors Are Guidance — every error includes recovery path
3. Discovery Is Native — capabilities self-describing
4. State Is Always Visible — agents query state anytime
5. Progress Is Continuous — incremental progress updates
6. Humans Are Collaborators — non-blocking human review
7. Tokens Are Precious — concise, minimal responses
8. Consistency Is Kindness — same patterns everywhere
9. Graceful Degradation — partial failures preserve work
10. Agents Are First-Class — no CAPTCHAs, no bot detection
11. Freshness Is Existence — timestamps on everything
12. Outcomes Over Throughput — measure completed workflows
13. Minimalism Is Virtue — no unnecessary parameters
