# Get chat status

GET https://astropods.com/api/v1/accounts/{account}/chats/{deploymentId}/status

Whether the agent is ready for chat, for a caller its web chat access admits.
Needs account membership, not a role on the agent, so a caller who may only chat
can tell whether the agent is running. Returns the coarse status and whether the
messaging sidecar is reachable, without the details `GET /deployments/{deploymentId}/status`
carries. A caller the web chat access refuses, an agent in another account, a deleted
agent, or one without web chat gets 404, as for an unknown deployment.
