# Introspect Endpoint

`POST /introspect`

RFC 7662 introspection for gateway-issued session tokens (``llm_session_`` /
``llm_srefresh_``), so an external gateway can validate them without the signing
secret. The caller authenticates with a LiteLLM virtual key (section 2.1, enforced by
the route dependency); any token the gateway cannot vouch for answers
``{"active": false}`` with no further detail.
