Wait for Image Project

wait_for_image_project

Read-onlyIdempotent

Polls an image project until it completes, errors, is canceled or times out. Use with the id returned by an image create tool. Read-only; returns the project and download URLs, with optional inline image previews sharing an 8 MiB total limit. After a timeout, resume with the same id rather than creating another generation. Use signed download URLs exactly as returned.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`id`	Yes	Existing project ID returned by the matching creation tool. Reuse this ID after a wait timeout.
`timeout_seconds`	No	Maximum seconds for this wait call, finite and greater than zero. Timeout does not cancel the project or start another generation.
`max_inline_downloads`	No	Maximum number of previews to include. Zero or negative disables previews; previews share an 8 MiB total limit.
`poll_interval_seconds`	No	Seconds between status checks. Must be finite and nonnegative; values below 0.5 use 0.5 seconds.
`max_bytes_per_download`	No	Positive maximum raw bytes per preview, capped by the remaining 8 MiB total budget. Larger outputs remain available by URL.
`include_inline_downloads`	No	Whether to include image or audio previews for completed projects. Download URLs remain available if preview fetching fails.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`id`	No	Existing project identifier, retained for subsequent status checks.
`status`	No	Project status such as complete, error or canceled; timeout means only this wait call ended.
`message`	No	Wait timeout or recovery guidance, when present.
`downloads`	No	Available output files with exact signed URLs. May be absent until completion.
`last_project`	No	Last observed API project snapshot if the wait timed out after a successful status check.
`project_type`	Yes	Kind of project being retrieved.
`exact_download_urls`	No	Convenience list of the same unmodified signed output URLs.
`download_expiration_metadata`	No	Expiration metadata only. Never append it to a download URL.

A4.1/5.0

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior, and the description adds useful context: the polling terminal states, the fact that timeout does not cancel the project or start a new generation, and the shared 8 MiB preview limit. It does not detail failure modes beyond noting that the project may error.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact and front-loaded: it first explains what the tool does, then adds usage constraints, return behavior, timeout handling, and URL safety guidance. There is no redundant or filler wording.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool has an output schema and fully described parameters, so the description does not need to explain return structures in detail. It covers the critical operational concerns for a polling tool: terminal conditions, timeout resumption, preview limits, and signed URL handling.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the parameters are already well documented in the input schema. The description reinforces key semantics such as reusing the id after a timeout and the inline preview budget, but it adds little parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: it polls an image project until it completes, errors, is canceled, or times out. It also ties the tool to an id returned by an image create tool, making its role clear, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from a single-fetch sibling such as get_image_project.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives clear usage context: call it with the id from an image creation tool, and after a timeout resume with the same id rather than creating another generation. It also warns to use signed download URLs exactly as returned, though it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over an alternative status-checking tool.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
