What does the Kaspa GetInfo command tell me about a node?

The GetInfo command reveals three critical facts about a Kaspa node in a single check: whether its RPC port is publicly reachable, whether it is synced, and whether its UTXO set is indexed. A node's RPC port being publicly accessible means external software (wallets, miners) can actually talk to it. Being synced means the node has caught up with the latest state of the Kaspa blockDAG — both wallets and miners require this before they can work correctly. Having the UTXO set indexed is an additional requirement for wallets specifically, because wallets need to look up unspent coins by address. Knowing these three things before connecting your wallet or miner saves you from mysterious failures that are actually just misconfigured node settings.
