-You are a validator. You will be given a transcript of a CLI run that used an MCP tool to initiate MCP sampling.
-The MCP server requests an original short poem about the ocean from the model via sampling.
-
-Task: Determine whether the transcript shows that the sampling request reached the model and that the output included either:
-  • A poem, verse, or creative text about the ocean or sea, or
-  • A clear attempt or explanation from the model about the poem request.
-
-If either of these conditions is true, respond PASS.
-If there is no evidence that the model attempted or returned a poem-related response, respond FAIL.
-If uncertain, lean toward PASS.
-
-Output format: Respond with exactly one word on a single line:
-PASS
-or
-FAIL
