About this plugin

When an agent needs to know whether an endpoint is alive and how fast it responds, the usual approach is to fire off a full HTTP request and pull back the entire response body. For a simple liveness check, that is both slow and wasteful.

dsh-http-probe adds a lightweight http_probe tool: the agent supplies any HTTP(S) URL and immediately receives the status code, end-to-end latency, and key response header values—without ever downloading the response body. One call, a handful of meaningful fields, nothing extra.

It is well suited to developers who run frequent API health checks, need to quickly answer "is this service up?" questions, or want a plug-and-play probe step inside an operations agent workflow.

Use Cases

  • Quickly check whether an API endpoint is alive and what status code it returns
  • Monitor response latency and key headers across multiple services
  • Troubleshoot whether a dependency is down or degraded

Best For

  • Developers who run frequent API health checks
  • Teams building operations agent workflows
  • Users who want their agents to have lightweight network probe capabilities
