querying for v3 capabilties?

Is or could it be it possible to have an HTTP api command that would
query a running V3 server about whether it can run a certain container
or not (e.g. JRuby, Phobos, etc.) without actually starting the
container? Bonus points if the result included container runtime
version information and/or the container's installation location. Or
maybe query for the list of what containers are startable by the current
environment.

Also, in the resolution of the how list-applications works if invoked
immediately after server restart, has this been favorably resolved? If
so, what was the resolution? If not, would it be possible at least for
the command (any other whose integrity cannot be guaranteed at such a
time) to indicate that it return an incomplete and/or invalid result and
to try again later (ie the command didn't fail, the result just isn't
ready yet.)
