connectivity-check
Use this when the user wants a quick health check - "are you there?", "ping",
"is the agent up?", or any request to confirm the A2A transport works end to
end before running a real workload.
When to use
- The user says "ping", "are you up", "healthcheck", "smoke test", or similar.
- The user is debugging a client integration and wants to confirm the
round-trip works before exercising more complex flows.
- The user explicitly asks for an echo round-trip.
Do NOT use this skill for general-purpose echo requests where formatting,
multi-line payloads, or domain-specific behavior matters - just call the
echo tool directly.
Workflow
- Call the
echo tool with message set to a short, recognizable string
(e.g. "ping" or a timestamp the user provided).
- Inspect the JSON response - it should contain
"status": "success" and an
"echo" field that exactly matches the input.
- Report back: confirm the round-trip succeeded, quote the response, and
note the reported
length so the user can see the payload was processed.
Tools
echo - sole tool used by this skill.
