FAQPage Schema
How do I run a Worker API health check to verify connectivity?

To run a Worker API health check, execute a ping request that returns a 'pong' response with a timestamp, validating the execution plane connectivity and operational readiness.

What is a ping health check used for in an agent execution environment?

A ping health check is used for basic system diagnostics to verify that the Worker API is online and responsive, ensuring your agent system can communicate with its execution environment.

Can I measure network latency to the Worker API using a ping test?

Yes, you can measure network latency by running a ping test that returns a timestamp, allowing you to calculate the response delay from the execution plane.

When should I verify Worker API responsiveness before executing tasks?

You should verify Worker API responsiveness before executing a critical task or when troubleshooting connection issues to ensure the execution environment is operational.

Does the Worker API ping test require any dependencies or components?

No, the ping test requires no dependencies or components to perform a basic connectivity test and validate the operational readiness of the Worker API.

Why does my Worker API health check not return a pong response?

If your health check does not return a pong response, the Worker API may be offline or unresponsive, indicating a connectivity issue or execution plane failure requiring troubleshooting.
