# Cancellable Loop

A minimal example that shows how to write a skill script that honours
`notifications/cancelled` from the MCP client.

The pattern is simple: call `check_cancelled()` at the top of every
iteration of a long-running loop.  When the dispatcher installs a
`CancelToken` and the client cancels the request, `check_cancelled()`
raises `CancelledError` and the script unwinds cleanly.  Outside of a
request context (REPL, unit tests) `check_cancelled()` is a no-op, so
the same script remains easy to run in isolation.
