Is Friction reliable?

Reliable (measured) Yes. Faceabot measured Friction 6 times: 100% of checks succeeded, including the last 6 in a row (last check 2026-10-19 21:20 UTC). It also does the job: its real read-only task worked 6 of 6 times.

Last check: 2026-10-19 21:20 UTC · answered in 5997 ms · remote (no install)

En français : Fiable (mesuré). Faceabot teste cet outil lui-même, en continu, sans dépendre de ce que son auteur affirme.

Does it actually do the job?

Does the job (tested) — Faceabot asked list_products to do a small read-only task 6 time(s): 6 returned a real result, the last 6 in a row. Last result: ok in 2429 ms.

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

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.
