What it catches

The missing completion.

A heartbeat is useful when the failure mode is “the expected run never completed.” That includes scheduler stalls, dead hosts, broken triggers, failed backups, expired credentials that prevent completion, and other cases where no final success signal appears.

What it does not magically know

Job Heartbeat does not inspect your business logic or decide whether an output is correct. If correctness matters, validate the result inside your workflow and send the heartbeat only after validation passes.

Trust

Minimal access. Clear job.

The core service needs the heartbeat signal—not your workflow credentials, prompts, API keys, or customer payloads.
