# Liveness probe

`GET /health`

Returns the aggregator's current health. Used by load balancers, k8s
liveness/readiness probes, and external uptime monitoring.

## Response `200`

Aggregator is up.

- HealthStatus
  - `status` 'ok' | 'degraded' | 'starting', required
  - `version` string, required — Aggregator binary version (e.g., `v3.2.0`). Always set — SDK clients use this to stamp the canonical EIP-191 auth message so the signed `Version` field reflects the gateway the user actually authenticated against.
  - `chainId` integer — Numeric chain ID (e.g. 11155111 for Sepolia, 8453 for Base). On chain-aware trigger/node configs this is required and must be a configured chain; on query/filter params it is optional.

## Other responses

- `503` — Aggregator is starting or degraded.
