Check upload status

media_upload_status
Read-only

Has the person uploaded yet? Returns waiting, ready or expired, plus every media id uploaded through that link. Pass those ids to publish as mediaIds. Ready images also come back as image blocks so you can SEE each photo and place it in the right paragraph: previewIds[i] is the media id of the i-th image. Up to 20 images per call; pass offset to see the rest. A media with duplicateOf is the same bytes as that other id — use one of them.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tokenYesThe token from media_upload_link.
offsetNoSkip this many images before returning previews (default 0).
workspaceIdNoWhich workspace this is for. Only needed when the account has more than one — the error tells you the ids when it matters. Leave it out if it is already decided; do not ask the person again.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With annotations already marking it read-only and non-destructive, the description adds significant behavior: status values, pagination limit of 20 with offset, previewId mapping for image blocks, and duplicateOf semantics. This goes well beyond the annotations and fully discloses the tool's behavior.

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 yet information-dense, front-loaded with the core purpose and then efficiently explaining return values, pagination, and duplicate handling. No sentence is wasted; every clause adds operational value.

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?

Without an output schema, the description fully specifies what the tool returns and how to use it (statuses, media IDs, previewIds, offset, duplicateOf). It also explains the workspaceId nuance and how to proceed with publish. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The schema covers all parameters at 100%, so the baseline is 3. However, the description adds extra semantics: it clarifies token origin, explains the 20-image limit and offset usage, and reinforces workspaceId guidance. This adds value beyond the schema, meriting a 4.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool checks upload status and returns waiting, ready, or expired plus all media IDs. It also explains how to use those IDs with publish, making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes itself from sibling upload/publish tools by focusing on status retrieval.

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 implies usage context (after media_upload_link, before publish) and explains how to chain with publish. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when NOT to use it, but the context is clear enough for an agent to select it appropriately.

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