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.
