When implementing the handler for a Get endpoint, just like for Delete, Post and Put, the handler code runs in the EitherT (Int, String) IO monad, where the Int represents the status code and the String a message, returned in case of failure. You can quite handily use left to quickly fail if some conditions are not met.

If successfully returning a value, we just require that its type has a ToJSON instance and servant takes care of encoding it for you, yielding status code 200 along the way.
