Payroll Diagnostics API

Summary

Three runtime/foundation operations expose process health, service identity, and Payroll data diagnostics. They are not business APIs.

Audience

Frontend and backend developers, QA and support engineers, architects, security reviewers, and implementation partners.

Reference Content

Authentication: bearer context is expected for business APIs; service-local enforcement Requires confirmation. Authorization: no endpoint-specific Payroll Service role policy is confirmed. Maturity: Internal / Foundation.

Operation	Method and public route	Purpose	Authentication	Tenant context	Request type	Response type	Success	Maturity	Source path
Process health	GET /health	Return framework process-health status.	Access policy Requires confirmation	No tenant parameter	None	ASP.NET Core health response	200	Internal	microservices/src/payroll-service/Program.cs
Service information	GET /	Return service identity and runtime metadata.	Access policy Requires confirmation	No tenant parameter	None	ApiResponse<ServiceInfoResponse>	200	Foundation	microservices/src/shared-kernel/Extensions/EndpointRouteBuilderExtensions.cs
Payroll health data	GET /payroll/health-data	Inspect Payroll data counts and recent technical evidence.	Internal access only; endpoint enforcement Requires confirmation	Fixed internal diagnostic context; details intentionally excluded	None	Anonymous diagnostic object	200	Internal	microservices/src/payroll-service/Api/PayrollFoundationEndpoints.cs

Process health

• API family / maturity: Payroll Diagnostics API; Internal
• Authentication / authorization: Access policy Requires confirmation. No endpoint-specific role policy is confirmed.
• Tenant context: No tenant parameter.
• Route parameters: None.
• Query parameters: None.
• Request body / type: None; None.
• Validation: Only checks stated in the error mapping below are confirmed; model-binding failures are framework behavior and not specified as a stable contract.
• Response body / type: ASP.NET Core health response.
• Success / error responses: 200; No endpoint-specific error response is mapped.
• Business behavior: Return framework process-health status.
• State and input implications: Read-only. No input projection changes.
• Audit and event implications: No audit side effect confirmed. No event produced.
• Compatibility notes: Native Payroll contract.
• Safe example: GET /health → framework health response
• Example error: No stable endpoint-specific error example is confirmed.

Service information

Payroll health data

• API family / maturity: Payroll Diagnostics API; Internal
• Authentication / authorization: Internal access only; endpoint enforcement Requires confirmation. No endpoint-specific role policy is confirmed.
• Tenant context: Fixed internal diagnostic context; details intentionally excluded.
• Route parameters: None.
• Query parameters: None.
• Request body / type: None; None.
• Validation: Only checks stated in the error mapping below are confirmed; model-binding failures are framework behavior and not specified as a stable contract.
• Response body / type: Anonymous diagnostic object.
• Success / error responses: 200; No endpoint-specific error response is mapped.
• Business behavior: Inspect Payroll data counts and recent technical evidence.
• State and input implications: Read-only. No input projection changes.
• Audit and event implications: No audit side effect confirmed. No event produced.
• Compatibility notes: Native Payroll contract.
• Safe example: GET /payroll/health-data → 200 diagnostic summary; response details intentionally omitted
• Example error: No stable endpoint-specific error example is confirmed.

Family-level findings

The health endpoint has no explicit database or broker probe. The health-data operation exposes sensitive operational and financial context and must not be treated as public. Its exact response fields, internal context behavior, and recent evidence are intentionally excluded.
