# Health Check

`GET /health`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.getmetacognition.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.getmetacognition.com/health`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/metacognition/apis/tex-api/docs/health/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Public readiness status: healthy / degraded / unhealthy, nothing more.

It is unauthenticated, so it names no internal dependency and carries no
error text (QA N6); the per-dependency report is ``/admin/health``.
Dependencies are checked in parallel, each bounded.

## Response `200`
