# Lightweight swarm-wide counts

`GET /api/metrics`

Single JSON object of cheap `COUNT(*)` metrics — tasks (by status), agents (by status), workflows (total + enabled), pages, active sessions, skills. Use this instead of fetching full list payloads just to count. Powers UI footers/sidebars and MCP context.

## Response `200`
