# Get a single action

Private session interface. Returns one action attached to an Agent message together with that message's status.

```http theme={"system"}
GET /api/w/{wId}/assistant/conversations/{cId}/messages/{mId}/actions/{aId}
```

Base URL: `https://app.counso.ai`

## Authentication

This operation requires a user OAuth access token in `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. A signed-in browser may use its Counso session cookie. A workspace API key does not supply user identity.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Location | Type   | Required | Description            |
| --------- | -------- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------- |
| `wId`     | path     | string | Yes      | ID of the workspace    |
| `cId`     | path     | string | Yes      | ID of the conversation |
| `mId`     | path     | string | Yes      | ID of the message      |
| `aId`     | path     | string | Yes      | ID of the action       |

## Responses

| HTTP status | Description                                                             |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 200         | Successfully retrieved the action                                       |
| 400         | Invalid request (missing parameters or message is not an agent message) |
| 401         | Unauthorized                                                            |
| 404         | Conversation, message, or action not found                              |
