monitoring

name	monitoring
description	Monitor sgai workspace status, events, progress, diffs, and workflow diagrams. Use when you need to observe what agents are doing, track progress, get the current state of all workspaces, subscribe to real-time updates via SSE, or inspect code changes.
compatibility	Requires a running sgai server. SSE streaming requires a client that supports Server-Sent Events.

Monitoring

Monitor the sgai factory to understand what agents are doing and track their progress.

Get Full Factory State

Returns all workspaces and their complete state.

Endpoint: GET /api/v1/state

curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/state | jq .

Key State Fields

Field	Description
running	Session is active
needsInput	Blocked waiting for human response
inProgress	Work is actively happening
status	Workflow status: "working", "agent-done", "complete", etc.
currentAgent	Currently executing agent
task	Current task being worked on
latestProgress	Most recent progress note
pendingQuestion	Non-null when human input needed
badgeText	Human-readable status badge

Cost Tracking

"cost": {
  "inputTokens": 45000,
  "outputTokens": 12000,
  "cacheCreationInputTokens": 8000,
  "cacheReadInputTokens": 32000
}

Event Timeline

"events": [
  {
    "timestamp": "2026-02-27T17:00:00Z",
    "formattedTime": "5:00 PM",
    "agent": "coordinator",

    "dateDivider": ""
  }
]

Get Single Workspace State

Equivalent to filtering state by workspace name:

curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/state | jq '.workspaces[] | select(.name == "my-project")'

Or use the MCP tool get_workspace_state:

get_workspace_state(workspace: "my-project")

Real-Time Updates via SSE

Subscribe to state change notifications.

Endpoint: GET /api/v1/signal

curl -s -N $BASE_URL/api/v1/signal

Events emitted:

event: reload
data: {}

event: reload
data: {}

Each reload event means state has changed. Fetch /api/v1/state after receiving one.

SSE with Reconnection

#!/bin/bash
while true; do
  curl -s -N "$BASE_URL/api/v1/signal" | while IFS= read -r line; do
    if [[ "$line" == "event: reload" ]]; then
      echo "State changed, fetching..."
      curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/state > /tmp/latest-state.json
    fi
  done
  echo "SSE disconnected, reconnecting..."
  sleep 2
done

Get Workspace Diff

Get the current code changes (jj diff) for a workspace.

Endpoint: GET /api/v1/workspaces/{name}/diff

curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/workspaces/my-project/diff

Response:

{
  "diff": "diff --git a/cmd/api/auth.go b/cmd/api/auth.go\nnew file mode 100644\n..."
}

Get Workflow SVG Diagram

Get a visual diagram of the agent workflow.

Endpoint: GET /api/v1/workspaces/{name}/workflow.svg

# Save to file
curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/workspaces/my-project/workflow.svg > workflow.svg

# Or open directly in browser
open $BASE_URL/api/v1/workspaces/my-project/workflow.svg

Returns SVG with the agent flow graph. The current agent is highlighted.

Monitor Agent Sequence

The agentSequence field shows the execution history:

curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/state | jq '.workspaces[0].agentSequence'

Response:

[
  {
    "agent": "coordinator",
    "model": "openai/gpt-5.5 (xhigh)",
    "elapsedTime": "2m 15s",
    "isCurrent": false
  },
  {
    "agent": "go",
    "model": "openai/gpt-5.5 (low)",
    "elapsedTime": "8m 42s",
    "isCurrent": true
  }
]

Monitor Todos

Check what the agent has planned:

# Project-level todos (from TodoWrite)
curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/state | jq '.workspaces[0].projectTodos'

# Agent-level todos (current agent's todo list)
curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/state | jq '.workspaces[0].agentTodos'

Todo format:

[
  {
    "id": "todo-1",
    "content": "Implement JWT authentication",
    "status": "in_progress",
    "priority": "high"
  }
]

Monitor Commit History

curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/state | jq '.workspaces[0].commits'

Response:

[
  {
    "changeId": "abc123",
    "commitId": "def456",
    "timestamp": "2026-02-27T17:00:00Z",
    "bookmarks": ["main"],
    "description": "cmd/api: add authentication endpoints",
    "graphChar": "◆"
  }
]

Monitor Fork Status

For root workspaces, check their forks:

curl -s $BASE_URL/api/v1/state | jq '.workspaces[] | select(.isRoot) | .forks'

Fork entry:

[
  {
    "name": "feature-auth",
    "dir": "/path/to/workspaces/feature-auth",
    "running": true,
    "needsInput": false,
    "inProgress": true,
    "pinned": false,
    "commitAhead": 3,
    "commits": [...],
    "summary": "Implementing auth"
  }
]
