Most monitors just send an HTTP ping. But a 200 OK is useless if the JSON-RPC handshake fails. Our tool is different because it performs a true protocol-level check, acting exactly like a real AI client. Key features: Full Handshake: Executes the spec-defined initialize, ping, and tools/list sequence. Deep Visibility: Inspect exact JSON-RPC payloads and negotiated versions. Smart Auth: Parses RFC 9728 headers on 401s to surface exact token requirements.
