Readiness Probe
A readiness probe checks whether a running service is ready to receive traffic, not merely whether its process is alive.
Definition
A readiness probe checks whether a running service is ready to receive traffic, not merely whether its process is alive. In PRO71 delivery, the term matters because it changes how AI tool access is scoped, reviewed, observed, and supported.
In practical context
Readiness Probe is used when teams need clearer boundaries around MCP, agent workflows, production diagnostics, or security gates.
Why it matters
Readiness Probe becomes more useful when it is tied to one permission, evidence, or operating decision.
Common misconceptions
Readiness Probe can be decided after launch.
Questions teams ask before they start
What does Readiness Probe mean in practice?
It describes a concrete boundary or pattern that affects how teams govern and operate AI-enabled systems.
Why does PRO71 define Readiness Probe?
We define it so business, security, and delivery teams can make the same decision with shared language.
