Check Image Status and History

Need to know what happened with a photo upload? You can check the job status using `get_enhancement_job_status` or see everything that's run before via `list_processing_history`. This keeps your workflow clear. It also lets you look at `get_image_metadata`, so you always know the technical details of the original image, not just what the AI did with it.

Manage API Credits

Before running a big batch job, check your limits first. The `get_account_credit_balance` tool shows exactly how many credits you have left. This stops unexpected failures when the budget runs dry. Use this before calling any enhancement functions to make sure your agent doesn't waste time on an empty quota.

Get Image Details and Formats

The server provides `list_supported_file_formats` so you know what kinds of pictures it accepts. You also get `list_enhancement_presets` to see the built-in styles, like 'portrait' or 'landscape', before you even upload a file. If you need the final picture, `get_enhanced_image_url` gives you the direct download link once processing is done.
