# Liveness

`GET /livez`

## 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/livez`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/metacognition/apis/tex-api/docs/livez/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Liveness: the process is up and serving. Touches no dependency.

The proxy and container probes use this. Probing ``/health`` instead tied
the backend's availability to its slowest dependency: a slow engine made
the report outlast the probe timeout and Caddy took the only upstream out
of rotation, failing every API call while the backend itself was fine.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown
