Get target

get_target Read a destination health watch and its current evidence state.

Name recorded in the 2026-10-17 deployment. This page describes current source; verify inputs and access in your connected catalog. Provider configuration and workspace access still apply.

Access	Behavior
`watches:read`	Reads saved data

This read does not start a verification job.

Example request

Connect through MCP, CLI, or HTTP. Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_target",
    "arguments": {
      "targetId": "target_example"
    }
  }
}

agentlinkops call get_target --args '{"targetId":"target_example"}'

curl --fail-with-body https://app.agentlinkops.com/v1/commands/get_target \

  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"targetId":"target_example"}'

Returned result

Schema-validated example; IDs and dates are illustrative. MCP returns this data in structuredContent and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

Field	Type	Presence	Meaning and constraints
`targetId`	string	Required	target ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200`

Validation and omitted values

Destination health does not establish whether a source backlink is present.

Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. Common schema conventions explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

id (string, required): Resource identifier returned by the operation.
workspace_id (string, required): Workspace that owns this record.
project_id (string, required): Project that owns this record.
status (string, required): Resource lifecycle status.
cadence_seconds (number, required): Configured check interval in seconds. Scheduling and admission can delay completion.
state (string, required): Saved lifecycle or evidence state, as enumerated for this record.
observation_state (object, required): Saved observation state. Before the first check, this object can be empty.
created_at (string, required): UTC timestamp when the record was created.
updated_at (string, required): UTC timestamp of the last record update.
last_attempt_at (string / null, required): UTC timestamp of the latest saved attempt, including an inconclusive attempt; null before any attempt.
last_success_at (string / null, required): UTC timestamp of the latest complete, conclusive observation; null before one exists. This does not mean the link was present.
last_observation_id (string / null, required): Identifier returned by the related operation.
next_check_at (string / null, required): Saved scheduling eligibility time in UTC, not a promised completion time. Read status before treating it as an active schedule.
overdue_reason (string / null, required): Recorded scheduling or admission delay; null when no delay reason is saved.
url (string, required).
created (boolean, optional): True when this request created the record; false when an existing record was reused.
last_successful_observation_id (string / null, optional): Identifier returned by the related operation.

Errors and retries

Follow the error recovery before retrying this read. Preserve the selected workspace, project, filters and feed. Recovering a read does not require an idempotency key or another verification job. See error recovery for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.

HTTP resource routes

These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See HTTP route details.

Method and route	Success	Details
