## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint first, before calling the joke-creation or Q&A endpoints, to understand what the Joke Creator Agent supports. It is a zero-input discovery call that sets context for all subsequent interactions with this agent.

## Known failure modes

- Service unavailable or Railway deployment down — HTTP 5xx with no body
- Unexpected empty response if the agent has no description configured
- Network timeout if the Railway app cold-starts
