Does it actually do the job?

Real task being tested — Faceabot asked list_markets to do a small read-only task 2 time(s): 2 returned a real result, the last 2 in a row. Last result: ok in 2853 ms.

Sample input: {}. 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
2026-10-22 18:10 UTC	❌ timeout		8850 ms
2026-10-22 06:50 UTC	✅ ok	✅ done	7761 ms
2026-10-21 20:00 UTC	✅ ok	✅ done	7773 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.
