Constellation Status Check

Check the Constellation API connection status by calling code_intel with this code parameter:

const result = await api.ping();
return result;

If successful (result.pong === true), report:

• Status: Connected
• Authentication valid, project access confirmed
• Note: Use a Constellation diagnose check or api.getCapabilities() to check indexing status

If error (result.success is false), report based on error code:

Error Code	Response
AUTH_ERROR	"Status: Auth Failed - Run constellation auth to configure credentials"
PROJECT_NOT_REGISTERED	"Status: Project Not Found - Verify project ID or check organization access"
PROJECT_INACTIVE	"Status: Project Inactive - Project has been deactivated"
API_UNREACHABLE	"Status: API Offline - Check network connectivity and API URL in constellation.json"
Other codes	Show error code, message, and guidance from result.error
Missing error object	Note "Unexpected response structure" and show raw result

If the tool call fails entirely, report:

• Status: MCP Unreachable
• The Constellation MCP server is not running or not configured
• Suggest: Restart the editor/CLI or run a Constellation diagnose check for details

Keep the response brief and actionable.
