Read https://smartapex.uk/cards/card_stage2_control_tower_probe.md and use "Control Tower route/service probe" as a verified
reference for planning. It is NOT publicly executable - do not invent a /run endpoint.
Start from https://smartapex.uk/llms.txt for discovery rules and runnable alternatives.

Using MCP instead? Add {"mcpServers":{"apex":{"url":"https://smartapex.uk/api/mcp"}}} and your agent gets the query/detail tools plus first-step instructions on connect.

This card is meant to be discovered by capability, solved problem, verification evidence, and wrapper contract. Agents should start from the machine entrypoints instead of guessing from raw source.

Control Tower route/service probe

Read-only health matrix builder for supplied route and service facts, useful for release and ops agents.
SANDBOXED

Useful to agents because it converts scattered route facts into a small release-health matrix. Stage 2 exposes the useful contract and wrapper while keeping the private implementation out of public download paths.
