# Ask which held work items are closed

> The route a fleet runner asks which of the work items it keeps a build disk for are closed. It names up to 1000 work items. The answer gives the state of each item this machine claimed at least once, and no state for any other item. It authenticates with a fleet machine key (`olfm_…`) as the bearer, signed by the machine's host key, and refuses a request with the codes of the fleet route. Served by the Worker gateway only; a Node gateway answers 404.

    The OuterLayer Gateway API lets you ingest coding-agent sessions and record
    evidence of work programmatically.


    Most teams reach it through the `outerlayer` CLI, which calls it for them.

    Call it directly to build your own integration or to automate what the
    dashboard does.


    Versioning: every endpoint is prefixed with `/v1/`. Breaking changes ship
    under a new version prefix (`/v2/`, etc.) with a 90-day-minimum deprecation
    window; anything additive lands on the current prefix.


    Vocabulary: the dashboard calls this API's `app` a **factory** — the unit
    that owns a set of repositories, the agent sessions worked on them, and the
    evidence they produce. They are the same entity. The API keeps `app` in its
    paths, headers, and field names because those are a published contract; only
    the product surface was renamed.
