Audit and Locate Media Assets

Every developer on your team can access asset information through the MCP Server. Use `list_files` to get a paginated view of all project assets, or use `get_file_details` to pull specific metadata points for auditing purposes.

Project Governance and Stats

Manage team resources by retrieving overall usage data. The team can call `get_project_info` to check project-level metadata and current usage statistics, ensuring everyone is aware of capacity limits.

Lifecycle Management

The Copilot Chat agent handles the lifecycle tools for you. You can use `store_file` to mark temporary files as permanent or execute irreversible cleanup commands like `batch_delete_files` when assets are retired.
