system_peers

Description#

Returns a list of peers the node is currently connected to.

When to use it:

Debug connectivity issues or peer churn.
Build network monitoring and operator dashboards.
Adapt UI behavior when the node is isolated or not fully peered.

Note: On shared public RPC, the peer list may be masked or empty.
