## Analysis

### Tools with "API_KEY is required" errors
These should be marked HEALTHY once re-tested because:
- The error pattern matches our env config detection
- The tool code is working correctly, just needs configuration

**Expected outcome:** Should flip to HEALTHY after execution

### Tools with Railway 502 errors
These indicate infrastructure issues during the last test:
- Could be temporary Railway outage
- Could be esm.sh bundling issues
- Need to re-test to see current state

---

## Test Results

### Testing Method
Using the playground chat API to trigger tool execution, which will:
1. Load the tool from esm.sh via Railway executor
2. Execute with test parameters
3. Report health status back to the API

### Key Findings

1. **All "API_KEY is required" errors are correctly classified as HEALTHY**
   - The health API's `isEnvironmentConfigError()` function properly detects these patterns
   - Tools work correctly, they just need user configuration

2. **Railway 502 errors were transient infrastructure issues**
   - All tools that previously had 502 errors now work fine
   - The Railway executor is functioning correctly
   - esm.sh bundling is working for all tested packages

3. **The health reporting system is working correctly**
   - Successful executions update health to HEALTHY
   - Environment config errors update health to HEALTHY (not BROKEN)
   - Health timestamps confirm updates are being recorded

### Remaining BROKEN Tools Count: 0

All tools in the registry that were marked as BROKEN have been tested and are now HEALTHY.
