```

Example prompt: Can you check the status of my the402.ai job with ID job_a3fefdde350f43f1 and let me know if it has completed and what the result is?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have already submitted a job to the the402.ai platform and need to retrieve its current status or final result. This is the appropriate polling mechanism for async jobs created by other the402.ai service purchases such as custom MCP tool development, sensitivity analysis, or AI style guide generation.

## Known failure modes

- Job ID not found or invalid — returns 404 or error indicating unknown job
- Job still processing — returns a pending or in-progress status with no final result yet
- Payment not verified — returns 402 if the $0.001 USDC payment is missing or invalid
- Server error — returns 500 if the platform is experiencing issues
- Malformed request — returns 400 if the job ID format is incorrect
