# get\_generation\_status

The feature's generation state: its lifecycle status plus the live per-section progress of the latest generation.

## Request

```
GET /api/v1/ops/projects/{project}/features/{feature}/generation
```

| Parameter | In   | Type   | Required | Description              |
| --------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------ |
| `project` | path | string | yes      | The project's public id. |
| `feature` | path | string | yes      | Feature id or name.      |

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TESTVIBE_API_KEY" \
  "$TESTVIBE_SERVER/api/v1/ops/projects/$PROJECT/features/12/generation"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="CLI" %}

```bash
testvibe generate "Login Functionality" --watch
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="MCP" %}
Tool **`get_generation_status`** — `{ "feature": "12" }`.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Response

```json
{
  "featureId": 12,
  "featureName": "Login Functionality",
  "featureStatus": "generating",
  "requestId": "a1b2c3d4-…",
  "runnerStarted": true,
  "overallStatus": "in_progress",
  "overallConclusion": null,
  "updatedUtc": "2026-06-10T14:30:12Z",
  "sections": [
    { "section": "login-functionality", "status": "in_progress", "conclusion": null, "updatedUtc": "2026-06-10T14:30:12Z" }
  ]
}
```

* `featureStatus` is the lifecycle answer: still `generating`, or done (`generated` / `failed` / `cancelled`).
* `runnerStarted` distinguishes "queued, sandbox warming up" (`false`) from "actively working" (`true`).
* `sections` mirror the live progress drawer in the app, one entry per generated section.

If the feature has never been generated, the response carries just the feature fields — no `requestId` or `sections`.

## Errors
