Example prompt: Can you quickly ping the CoCo lab tools endpoint and tell me if it's up and running right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, low-cost liveness check specifically for cocoeatsai.com agent tools before making more expensive downstream calls, or when building uptime monitors for this lab's APIs.

## Known failure modes

- Service is down — 'up' returns false or request times out entirely
- Network unreachable — no response returned, connection error
- Unexpected non-200 status code if the service is in a degraded state
