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.
