Can I check the delivery status of a specific message via AI?

Yes! Use the `get_message_details` tool and provide the Message SID. Your agent will retrieve the real-time delivery status (e.g., sent, delivered, failed) and other metadata.

How do I find a new available phone number in the US?

Run the `search_available_numbers` query and set the `countryCode` parameter to 'US'. The agent will return a list of phone numbers available for purchase in that region.

Is it possible to see the costs associated with my messaging usage?

Absolutely. Use the `get_usage_statistics` tool to retrieve detailed usage records and associated costs for your SMS and voice services directly from TextGrid.
