Or ask Faceabot first: MCP tool check_reliability {"id":"com.assimilatethis.bob/research-tools"} on https://faceabot.com/api/mcp.

Does it actually do the job?

Real task being tested — Faceabot asked page.extract to do a small read-only task 1 time(s): 0 returned a real result. Last result: tool_error (the tool answered with an error for the neutral sample input) in 1240 ms.

Sample input: {"url":"https://example.com"}. A success means a non-empty result without error; it does not certify the accuracy or safety of the content.

When	Answers	Real task	Latency
2026-10-06 11:50 UTC	✅ ok	❌ tool_error	3930 ms

Method: MCP initialize then tools/list from Faceabot (FaceabotProbe/1.0), plus one read-only tool call with a neutral input when the server declares one, repeated over time. This checks that the server is up and speaks MCP correctly; it does not certify the quality or safety of each tool. How measurement works.
