# Check the run's device channel

> Confirms the run is live and its channel is serving.

This operation reads no `Authorization` header. The run token in the path IS the credential, so the whole url is secret: never log it, paste it, or commit it. Every example writes `{runToken}` for that reason.

  title: Phonebase HTTP API
  version: 0.1.0
  summary: >-
    Every HTTP operation the control plane mounts, generated from the app's own
    route table.
  description: >-
    The control plane exposes two HTTP surfaces, and reading the boundary
    between them matters more than reading any single endpoint.


    The CONTROL surface is what your backend and your operators call. It takes a
    bearer token in the `Authorization` header, and two credential channels
    resolve to the same authorization context: an OAuth 2.1 access token for
    interactive clients, or an org scoped API key for headless ones.


    The DEVICE surface, under `/vrx/{runToken}/v1`, is what a worker calls while
    executing one run. Its credential is the run token in the url path, and it
    reads no `Authorization` header at all.


    Device control itself is not REST. An agent taps, swipes and reads the
    screen over the Model Context Protocol at `POST /mcp`, one tool call at a
    time. There is no `POST /v1/devices/{id}/tap`, and if you are looking for
    one, start with the tool reference instead.


    Operations marked `"x-phonebase-modes": ["hosted"]` exist only on a hosted
    deployment; a local checkout does not mount them.

        description: >-
          The hosted deployment serves the public origin its metadata document
          advertises, and that is the default here. Select the loopback entry
          instead when you are running a local checkout, which serves the port
          `PORT` names.

            If you reached this with an org API key rather than a run token, the

            Drive devices yourself over the MCP endpoint instead.
