No. They are "unreliable" because they are not acknowledged by the receiving station. Inform requests are "reliable" because they are acknowledged.

That would be a more sensible approach. I would suggest four possible values for this object: ok notok calculating startCalculation with the first three being returned by a GET request, and the fourth being the only valid SET assignment.
