Does it actually do the job?

Not tested with a real task yet. Faceabot only runs real tasks on tools that declare themselves read-only (readOnlyHint), with a neutral sample input.

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.
