Short answer

How can my AI check image metadata?

Your AI uses ImageKit tools to pull EXIF data and file specifications for any asset in your library. It identifies missing tags, incorrect dimensions, or specific camera settings automatically. You get a clear report of every technical discrepancy found.

Audit outcomes

Where your audit results land.

The AI categorizes findings based on what it finds in the file headers.

VALID

Clean assets

The AI confirms the file meets your specific technical requirements. You get a list of assets that are ready for production.

MISSING

Missing metadata

The agent flags files that lack required EXIF tags or specific properties. You'll know exactly which assets need manual tagging.

ERROR

Technical mismatches

The AI catches files with wrong dimensions, color profiles, or formats. This prevents broken layouts or rendering issues later.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If the metadata is corrupted or unreadable, the AI flags it for you. You decide how to fix these specific files.

The workflow

What your AI does when an asset arrives.

The AI acts as a technical inspector for your media library.

  1. Fetch file details

    The agent pulls the core technical specifications for a specific asset. This includes size, format, and basic file properties.

    get_file_details

  2. Extract EXIF data

    The AI digs into the image headers to read camera settings and metadata. It looks for specific tags you care about.

    get_exif_metadata

  3. Compare against rules

    The agent checks the extracted data against your required standards. It looks for discrepancies in resolution or color space.

    get_file_detailsget_exif_metadata

  4. Report findings

    The AI summarizes what is correct and what is broken. It presents a clean list of issues for you to address.

FAQ

How the audit works

  • 01

    Can the AI change the metadata in ImageKit?

    No. The AI can only read and inspect metadata using the available tools. You must make any changes manually in ImageKit.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete images from my library?

    No. This MCP only provides tools to read file details and EXIF data. It has no capability to delete or move files.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my images at once?

    No. The AI only accesses the specific files or folders you point it toward in your prompts.

  • 04

    Can it check video files too?

    The AI can check file details for various media, but EXIF metadata is specific to image files.

  • 05

    How does it know if a file is 'correct'?

    The AI only knows if a file is correct if you tell it what the requirements are in your prompt.
