Short answer

How can I get images and metadata using my AI?

Your agent uses the get_cmpicture_asset tool to find specific image files and their metadata within the CoreMedia Content Cloud. This allows you to pull the exact URI templates needed for your frontend. You'll see how the agent handles the retrieval and resolution process below.

Asset outcomes

Where your data lands

The agent turns your natural language requests into usable technical data.

DATA

Metadata retrieval

HUMAN

Manual verification

You review the resolved URIs and metadata. You decide if the assets are ready for production deployment.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from identifying the asset to preparing it for your code.

  1. Identify the asset

    The agent searches the CoreMedia Content Cloud to find the specific image you described.

    get_cmpicture_asset

  2. Extract metadata

    Once found, the agent pulls the technical metadata associated with that specific picture asset.

    get_cmpicture_asset

  3. Resolve URIs

    The agent processes the metadata to generate the correct URI templates for your frontend.

    get_cmpicture_asset

  4. Deliver paths

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI upload new images to CoreMedia?

    No. This connector is for retrieving existing assets and metadata, not for uploading or creating new content.

  • 02

    Can the AI change the metadata of an asset?

    No. The agent can only read and retrieve the metadata that already exists in the cloud.

  • 03

    Does the AI provide the actual image file?

    The agent provides the metadata and the resolved URI templates. You use those URIs to access the actual image files in your application.

  • 04

    Can I use this to bulk download assets?

    The agent retrieves assets based on your specific requests. It does not perform mass batch downloads of entire directories.

  • 05

    How does the agent find the right image?

    The agent uses the get_cmpicture_asset tool to search for the specific asset you describe in your prompt.
