# List Employees

> GET /v1/employees — List all AI employees with runtime status.

<Warning>
  **Deprecated — `naive employees` and `/v1/employees`.** 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 roster`

  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.employees`.
  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).
