check_job

Monitor the status and retrieve results for asynchronous jobs like algorithm execution, media protection, or AI detection tasks. Returns progress, completion status, and download links when ready.

Instructions

Check the status of an asynchronous job (from run_algorithm, protect_media, or detect_ai). Returns status (queued, processing, completed, failed), progress percentage, and result data including download URLs when complete.

Implementation Reference

  • Main handler function for check_job tool that polls the API for job status, formats the response with status, progress, timestamps, and result data, and handles errors.
    async ({ job_id }) => {
      try {
        const result = (await api.get(
          `/api/v1/jobs/${encodeURIComponent(job_id)}`,
        )) as JobResponse;
    
        const lines: string[] = [
          `Status: ${result.status}`,
        ];
    
        if (result.progress !== undefined) {
          lines.push(`Progress: ${result.progress}%`);
        }
        if (result.created_at) {
          lines.push(`Created: ${result.created_at}`);
        }
        if (result.completed_at) {
          lines.push(`Completed: ${result.completed_at}`);
        }
        if (result.error) {
          lines.push(`\nError: ${result.error}`);
        }
        if (result.result) {
          lines.push(`\nResult:\n${JSON.stringify(result.result, null, 2)}`);
        }
    
        if (result.status === "queued" || result.status === "processing") {
          lines.push(`\nJob is still running. Call check_job again in a few seconds.`);
        }
    
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: lines.join("\n") }],
        };
      } catch (err) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text" as const,
              text: `Error: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`,
            },
          ],
          isError: true as const,
        };
      }
    },
  • Input schema definition using zod that validates the job_id parameter as a string.
      job_id: z.string().describe("The job ID returned by a previous tool call"),
    },
  • TypeScript interface JobResponse that defines the structure of the API response including id, status, progress, result, error, and timestamps.
    interface JobResponse {
      id: string;
      status: string;
      progress?: number;
      result?: unknown;
      error?: string;
      created_at?: string;
      completed_at?: string;
    }
  • Tool registration with server.tool() that registers the check_job tool with its name, description, input schema, and handler function.
    server.tool(
      "check_job",
      "Check the status of an asynchronous job (from run_algorithm, protect_media, or detect_ai). " +
        "Returns status (queued, processing, completed, failed), progress percentage, " +
        "and result data including download URLs when complete.",
      {
        job_id: z.string().describe("The job ID returned by a previous tool call"),
      },
      async ({ job_id }) => {
        try {
          const result = (await api.get(
            `/api/v1/jobs/${encodeURIComponent(job_id)}`,
          )) as JobResponse;
    
          const lines: string[] = [
            `Status: ${result.status}`,
          ];
    
          if (result.progress !== undefined) {
            lines.push(`Progress: ${result.progress}%`);
          }
          if (result.created_at) {
            lines.push(`Created: ${result.created_at}`);
          }
          if (result.completed_at) {
            lines.push(`Completed: ${result.completed_at}`);
          }
          if (result.error) {
            lines.push(`\nError: ${result.error}`);
          }
          if (result.result) {
            lines.push(`\nResult:\n${JSON.stringify(result.result, null, 2)}`);
          }
    
          if (result.status === "queued" || result.status === "processing") {
            lines.push(`\nJob is still running. Call check_job again in a few seconds.`);
          }
    
          return {
            content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: lines.join("\n") }],
          };
        } catch (err) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text" as const,
                text: `Error: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`,
              },
            ],
            isError: true as const,
          };
        }
      },
    );
