Get link status

get_link
Read-onlyIdempotent

Status of a link: live, checking, publishing, unpublished, in_review, removed (by moderation: removed_reason + appeal_url), expired or awaiting_upload; plus expiry, size and views (null when the account’s plan has no view counts). Anonymous callers pass the manage_token they got on creation.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
slugYesThe link name, e.g. "k3x9pq" (a full https://putit.online/<name> URL also works).
manage_tokenNoSecret manage token returned when the link was created (lets anonymous callers manage it).

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesThe public link to share.
kindYeshtml | site | file | bundle | pending
slugYes
titleYes
viewsYesView count; null when the link's account plan has no view counts, or the link has no account.
statusYeschecking = not live yet (poll get_link); live = shareable; unpublished = not published; publishing = will be live soon (poll get_link); in_review = not available right now; removed = removed by moderation (see removed_reason, appeal_url).
permanentYes
appeal_urlNoOnly with status removed: mailto link to appeal to abuse@putit.online.
created_atYes
expires_atYesISO time the link stops working; null for permanent links.
file_countYes
manage_urlNoPrivate page to manage/delete the link. Only returned on creation; keep it secret.
size_bytesYes
content_urlNoOnly when live, for sites and single files: where the content itself is served (https://<slug>.putitcdn.com/…). Share `url` instead; it always works.
checkout_urlNoOnly with status unpublished: the page where the uploader can publish this link.
manage_tokenNoSecret token returned on creation for every new link (keep it secret). Anonymous callers pass it to get_link/delete_link; a link in an account is managed by that account instead.
removed_reasonNoOnly with status removed: why, in plain words.
status_messageYes
removed_categoryNoOnly with status removed: the moderation category (malware, phishing, explicit, …); null when not disclosed.
password_protectedYes

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent and closed-world behavior, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real context: views are null when the account plan has no view counts, removed links carry removed_reason and appeal_url, and anonymous callers need the manage_token. It stops short of describing pagination or output shape, which is acceptable here.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

A single dense sentence that front-loads the status enumeration and appends the secondary facts about moderation, views and tokens. No filler, though the packed clause list makes it slightly hard to scan.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With an output schema present, the description need not define return values, yet it usefully previews the status set and the null-views edge case. Combined with the auth note for anonymous callers, an agent has everything required to call this correctly.

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 both parameters are already documented, giving a baseline of 3. The description adds only the context that manage_token comes from creation and is used by anonymous callers, echoing what the schema already says.

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 names a specific verb+resource (link status) and enumerates the concrete status values returned, so the agent knows exactly what it retrieves. It does not explicitly contrast itself with siblings such as list_links or delete_link, which is the only thing keeping it from a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied rather than stated: an agent can infer this is for checking one link's state, and it notes that anonymous callers must supply the manage_token they got at creation. There is no explicit when-to-use/when-not or routing to an alternative tool.

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