Short answer

How can I track my document processing jobs?

Your agent uses the Unstructured MCP to pull a list of all historical and active workflow jobs. It then identifies which syncs succeeded or failed so you can fix errors immediately. You get a clear view of your pipeline health.

Job outcomes

Where your status updates land.

The AI sorts job data into these specific outcomes.

SUCCESS

Completed syncs

The AI confirms which document batches finished processing without errors. You get a clean list of ready-to-use data.

FAILURE

Broken pipelines

The AI flags jobs that crashed or timed out. It points you directly to the specific task that needs a restart.

PENDING

Active workloads

The AI monitors jobs currently in progress. You can ask how many documents are still being parsed.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI identifies edge cases where a job failed due to file corruption. You decide if the file needs a manual fix or a different parser.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as a bridge between your Unstructured account and your chat interface.

  1. Fetch job history

    The agent pulls the full list of recent processing attempts from your account.

    list_workflow_jobs

  2. Filter by status

    The AI scans the job list to separate successful runs from those that hit errors.

    list_workflow_jobs

  3. Identify bottlenecks

    The agent looks for patterns in failed jobs, like specific file types causing crashes.

    list_workflow_jobs

  4. Report findings

    The AI presents a summary of your pipeline health in your chat window.

FAQ

How the monitoring task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI restart a failed job?

    No. The AI can identify which jobs failed, but you must manually trigger a retry in the Unstructured dashboard.

  • 02

    Does the AI see the actual content of my documents?

    No. The AI only sees the metadata and status of the workflow jobs, not the text inside your files.

  • 03

    Can I ask about specific file names?

    Yes, as long as those file names are included in the job metadata returned by the workflow list.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete old job logs?

    No. The AI only has permission to read the job list; it cannot modify or delete your history.

  • 05

    How often does the AI check for new jobs?

    The AI only checks for new jobs when you specifically ask it to via a prompt.
