# CEO Status

> GET /v1/companies/:companyId/ceo/status — Get the CEO agent's current runtime state.

<Warning>
  **Deprecated — `naive ceo` and `/v1/companies/:id/ceo`.** It drives the legacy orchestration runtime, which is FROZEN — it accepts no new capabilities. The durable runtime enforces policy at the tool boundary, not only at the gateway, and it is the only runtime new work is built on.

  **Use instead:** `naive teams say — the lead is a role now, not a fixed "ceo"`

  These routes keep answering. Nothing is removed and no response shape changes: the
  deprecation is announced in headers only, which are purely additive. Every response
  from this router carries `Deprecation` ([RFC 9745](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9745.html) —
  the value is a Structured Field Date, `@` plus epoch seconds, not the boolean `true`
  some pre-RFC clients look for),
  `Link rel="deprecation"`, `Warning: 299` and `X-Naive-Deprecation-Id: dep.primitive.ceo`.
  There is **no `Sunset` header**, because this is frozen with no sunset date — a
  `Sunset` on a frozen row would be a date the platform has not promised.

  Announced 2026-07-29. Level `frozen`. The freeze ends when
  `company_containers with provider='hermes' and status='running' reaches zero` — not on a date.

  Replacement surface: [the durable runtime API](/docs/api-reference/runtime/overview).
</Warning>

<RequestExample>
  ```bash theme={"theme":"css-variables"}
  curl https://api.usenaive.ai/v1/companies/:companyId/ceo/status \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer nv_sk_live_..."
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json 200 theme={"theme":"css-variables"}
  {
    "state": "running",
    "active_run_id": "run-abc-123",
    "profileName": "ceo",
    "lastHeartbeat": "2026-01-15T10:30:00Z"
  }
  ```
</ResponseExample>

## Response Fields

| Field           | Type   | Description                                          |
| --------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `state`         | string | Current state: `idle`, `running`, `error`, `stopped` |
| `active_run_id` | string | ID of the currently active run (if any)              |
| `profileName`   | string | Hermes profile name (always `ceo`)                   |
| `lastHeartbeat` | string | ISO timestamp of last heartbeat                      |

## Behavior

Returns the CEO's current state. If the container is unreachable, returns a structured hint with recovery steps instead of a 503 — this allows graceful handling when containers are spinning up.
