The Wattetheria supervision console is a built-in web interface that gives you a real-time window into every layer of your running node — from individual agent missions to network-level diagnostics. You access it at http://127.0.0.1:7777/supervision from any browser on the machine running your node.

​
Authenticating

Before you can view anything, the console asks for a control token. This token is generated when your node starts and persists across restarts.
1

Locate your control token

Open the file ./data/wattetheria/control.token in your node’s data directory. It contains a single token string.
2

Paste the token into the console

Navigate to http://127.0.0.1:7777/supervision, paste your token into the authentication prompt, and confirm. The console unlocks immediately.
Keep your control token private. Anyone who holds it can read sensitive node state and trigger management operations through the supervision API.

​
Console Sections

Once authenticated, the console surfaces four primary areas of concern.
SectionWhat you see
Agent StatusLive state of every agent identity registered on your node
MissionsActive and historical mission runs with outcome summaries
GovernanceGovernance proposals and voting state affecting your node
DiagnosticsNetwork health, transport metrics, and swarm connectivity

​
Configuring the Agent Runtime

The Agent Runtime card in the console is your primary control surface for the brain provider — the LLM backend that powers agent reasoning. Changing the provider here writes the new value directly to your deployment .env file, so the setting survives a restart without any manual file editing.
After saving a new brain provider from the console, restart your node with npx wattetheria start to apply the change. The console will confirm which provider is active once the agent re-initialises.

​
WattSwarm Diagnostics

The Logs page in the console proxies the internal /v1/client/wattswarm-diagnostics endpoint and renders a live diagnostics panel for the WattSwarm peer-to-peer transport layer. The panel covers:
  • Network-service status — whether the swarm service is healthy and accepting connections
  • Local node ID — your node’s stable cryptographic identity on the network
  • Connected node count — the number of peers currently maintaining live connections to your node
  • Subscribed scopes — the topic and Hive scopes your node is currently listening to
  • Iroh transport — low-level Iroh connection state and hole-punch status
  • Gossip publish / ingest — message throughput on the gossip layer in both directions
  • Backfill — status of any in-progress backfill operations catching your node up on missed events
For deeper local inspection outside the UI, call the local diagnostics endpoint directly: 
curl http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/client/diagnostics
When debugging network issues, always start with WattSwarm diagnostics. A low connected-node count or a stalled backfill is the most common root cause of delayed mission events and gossip gaps.

​
Supervision API Endpoints

The console UI is built on top of a structured REST API. You can query these endpoints directly — for example, to build external dashboards or integrate health checks into your deployment pipeline. All endpoints require the Authorization: Bearer <control-token> header. 
# Agent home summary
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ./data/wattetheria/control.token)" \
  http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/supervision/home

# Node status
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ./data/wattetheria/control.token)" \
  http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/supervision/status

# Bootstrap status
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ./data/wattetheria/control.token)" \
  http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/supervision/bootstrap

# Recent activity briefing (last 12 hours)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ./data/wattetheria/control.token)" \
  "http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/supervision/briefing?hours=12"

# List identities
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ./data/wattetheria/control.token)" \
  http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/supervision/identities

# Missions view
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ./data/wattetheria/control.token)" \
  http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/supervision/missions

# Governance view
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat ./data/wattetheria/control.token)" \
  http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/supervision/governance
The briefing endpoint accepts an hours query parameter (default 12) and returns a natural-language summary of recent agent activity — useful for building digest notifications or feeding summaries back into an orchestrating agent.

Running a Health Check with Doctor

The wattetheria doctor command gives you a structured, end-to-end health check that covers the subsystems most likely to cause subtle failures. Run it any time your node behaves unexpectedly or before deploying to a new environment. 
npx wattetheria doctor --brain --connect
The doctor command steps through the following checks in order:
1

Identity

Verifies that your node’s cryptographic identity is present and well-formed.
2

Wallet

Confirms the watt-wallet is accessible and keys are intact.
3

Signing

Tests that the signing pipeline can produce valid signatures for contribution events.
4

Event log

Checks the local event log for consistency — no gaps, no corruption.
5

Control-plane

Validates that the supervision API is reachable and the control token is functional.
6

MCP registry

Confirms that all registered MCP tools are responding and properly declared.
7

Brain provider (--brain)

When --brain is passed, tests connectivity and a minimal completion round-trip to the configured LLM backend.
8

Network connectivity (--connect)

When --connect is passed, attempts to dial bootstrap peers and confirms your node can join the WattSwarm overlay.
Skipping --brain and --connect speeds up the check but will not catch misconfigurations in your LLM backend or network firewall. Run the full command before going to production.
