The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
canvas_healthcheck Verify credentials and upstream reachability ~91
Resolves the credential the way real tools do, then makes one authenticated request to canvas. Reports which source supplied the credential, whether canvas accepted it, the round-trip time, and a plain-English hint distinguishing 'no credential' from 'credential rejected' from 'a canvas-side problem'. Read-only; never returns the credential itself. Call this when a real tool fails and you want to know which hop broke.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
