Upload, Process, and Retrieve Links

To run a full pipeline in CI/CD, you first execute `upload_image_to_viesus` to stage the image. Then, you must check completion using `get_enhancement_job_status`. Finally, pipe the output through `get_enhanced_image_url` to get the final asset link for deployment.

Inspect Image Metadata and Formats

For logging or validation scripts, use `get_image_metadata` on a processed file. You can also run `list_supported_file_formats` to ensure your input stream only contains valid image types before attempting any processing.

Manage System Status and Presets

Before running a script, always check the connection status with `check_api_health`. You can also list available configurations using `list_enhancement_presets` or see what webhooks are active via `list_configured_webhooks`.
