Does TCAS 'know' the aeroplanes performance limitations ?

OK, let's say you're cruising along at FL400 and conditions are such that you're not going to get much out of the aeroplane, perhaps even you're not far from coffin corner. All of a sudden you get a TCAS RA commanding a 2000fpm climb.

A) Does TCAS know what you can and can't achieve ?
B) Given the above example, what would you do?

Thx
