# Read a runner pool's work-queue stats

> Returns the backlog a fleet operator scales and alerts on for one explicit RunnerPool: `depth` (advertised Runs this pool may claim that no Runner is holding), `unpinned_depth` (the share of that depth pinned to no pool and therefore claimable by any, D170 — so depths do not sum across pools), `claimed_unacked` (claimed by a Runner and not yet settled), `oldest_queued_at` (the earliest advertisement across both, null when the queue is empty), and `runners_recently_seen` (Runners in this pool with unexpired presence — Checkfu Runners announce rather than poll, and presence expires after a 30-second TTL). Subtract `oldest_queued_at` from `measured_at` for the age; nothing is precomputed against a hidden clock. Every number is a read-only projection over scheduling state — reading it never claims, holds, or expires work, and a stale read costs a scaling decision, never a Run. An unknown pool, or one in another workspace, is `validation.not_found`.

Checkfu support posture: preview; rollout_fenced. Required evidence journey: managed-runner. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.

    Authentication is declared per operation: API-key, runtime, or connector
    bearer; Automation signature; or credential-free pairing redemption. Every
    general Checkfu REST request requires the dated `Checkfu-Version` header
    (one of: 2026-08-27); the three MCP JSON-RPC transports use
    `MCP-Protocol-Version`, A2A uses `A2A-Version`, and the provider OAuth
    callback carries neither Checkfu header. API keys resolve one Workspace
    without a request selector; authenticated responses identify it with
    `Checkfu-Workspace-Id`.
