/ping
Inspect the running instance’s deployment identity and observed health.
Availability
Section titled “Availability”Public source-edition command; execution remains conditional on installation, server policy and the running service. This reference is built from the repository, not a live Discord registration probe. Explicit registration contexts: server, bot DM, private channel.
Syntax
Section titled “Syntax”/pingAngle brackets indicate required input; square brackets indicate optional input. In Discord, choose the command and fill its named options, rather than typing the brackets.
Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”No registered options.
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”No native default-member permission is declared for this path, and no additional native member permission was identified in its reviewed direct handler.
Fork role access is evaluated using the underlying ping policy key, even when the slash name is grouped. Native Discord permission checks remain separate from Fork role grants. Sensitive commands fail closed before valid setup; native Administrator bypasses Fork’s role matrix, not Discord’s bot permissions or target hierarchy. See Permission model.
Examples
Section titled “Examples”/pingPrefix equivalent and aliases
f!pingDefault prefix: f!; installations can configure another. Handler aliases: latency, status, durum. Aliases are prefix names, not additional slash commands.
Grouped prefix routes also delegate to the original handlers, but aliases retain that handler’s argument parsing. Conflicting aliases are rejected as ambiguous. Prefix replies are generally visible in the channel; prefer slash privacy controls for sensitive personal data.
Expected result
Section titled “Expected result”Returns configured deployment label/region/environment/version, uptime, Gateway latency, heap memory, server count, active AI provider, host label and configured prefix. Missing deployment identity is explicitly shown as not configured; it is not replaced with an invented location.
Failure cases
Section titled “Failure cases”A disconnected bot cannot answer. Gateway latency may be unavailable before readiness. Check the returned error, current bot status and the relevant server permissions. A timeout or uncertain receipt is not proof that nothing happened; inspect state before repeating a mutation.
Usage limits
Section titled “Usage limits”No fixed command-specific cooldown is declared in this reviewed entry. Discord rate limits, provider budgets, service admission and server policy can still apply; this is not an unlimited-usage promise.
