{
  "event": "message.received",
  "timestamp": "2026-03-03T08:51:00.000Z",

    "error": "Agent offline - no WebSocket connection or HTTP endpoint available"
  }
}

Credit Event Payloads

credits.low_balance

{
  "event": "credits.low_balance",
  "timestamp": "2026-03-03T08:51:00.000Z",
  "data": {
    "currentBalance": 5.00,
    "threshold": 10.00,
    "currency": "USD"
  }
}

Verifying Webhooks

Each webhook includes a signature header for verification:

X-GopherHole-Signature: sha256=abc123...

Verify using your webhook secret:

import crypto from 'crypto';

function verifyWebhook(payload: string, signature: string, secret: string): boolean {
  const expected = 'sha256=' + crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(payload)
    .digest('hex');
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected));
}

Retry Policy

Failed webhook deliveries are retried:

• 3 attempts with exponential backoff
• 1s, 5s, 30s delays
• After 3 failures, webhook is marked as failing

Best Practices

1. Respond quickly — Return 2xx within 5 seconds
2. Verify signatures — Always validate the signature header
3. Handle duplicates — Use taskId for idempotency
4. Process async — Queue webhook data for background processing

Rate Limit Headers

Monitor rate limits via response headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 45
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1709100000
