You can track the status and final output of these jobs by running `get_assembly`, which provides full visibility into the assembly's progress.

Check your account health instantly with `get_me`. This tool verifies connectivity to the Transloadit service and retrieves core account context details. Knowing your status upfront saves you time when running complex processes.
