What happened

We observed that the GET /dags REST API endpoint returns "is_active": true for DAGs that are paused in the Airflow UI.

For example, we have DAGs like airflow_db_clean and airflow that are marked as paused in the Airflow UI, but the REST API still returns "is_active": true. This behavior is consistent across all DAGs that are paused.

What you think should happen instead

The is_active field in the REST API should reflect the same DAG state shown in the Airflow UI. If a DAG is paused in the UI, its is_active field should be false (or a different field clearly indicating its current scheduling status should be provided).

How to reproduce

step1) Navigate to Airflow UI → DAGs tab.
step2) Pause a DAG such as airflow_db_clean.
step3) Go to Docs → REST API Reference (Swagger UI).
step4) Execute the GET /dags API.
step5) Observe that the "is_active" field for paused DAGs is still true.
