Do the nodes advertise if they are full/archive/SPV nodes?

And can those claims be verified? I.e. if a node claims to be an archival node, can we ask it for an arbitrary block?

I ask because I guess 'fake' nodes could be easily set up quickly and cheaply, where they are missing some functionality or they delegate to full nodes if needed

I haven't looked at the bitcoin network code in awhile but I would imagine it would or at least could be smart enough to do those kinds of things.

I can take a look.
