# getInternalStatus

The `getInternalStatus` method returns the internal status of the AEA (Agamento Engine Application).\
This method is typically called infrequently to determine the internal state of the engine's service logic, particularly during transaction flows.

## Request

<Note>
  **JSON-RPC 2.0**

  All methods in TweezerComm follow a JSON-RPC 2.0 structure. See [Get Started](/docs/integrate-pos-device/tweezercomm/tweezercomm-get-started) for more details on how the requests are structured and sent.
</Note>

In the request, the `method` field needs to be set to `getInternalStatus`, as shown in the example request below:

```json theme={null}

    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "getInternalStatus",
    "id": "123454352",
