Quality & Safety
Based on automated analysis of tool definitions and protocol compliance.

🟡generate_upload_url(message)
Generate a URL for remote camera upload. Send this URL to a mobile device to capture and upload a photo. The capture URL can be reused multiple times to upload different photos without generating a new URL. The URL will be in format: https://www.ai.moda/mcp-servers/remote-camera/capture/?url=PRESIGNED_URL

}🟡poll_for_upload(session_id, timeout, modified_since, not_etag)
Poll S3 bucket waiting for photo upload to complete. Returns a presigned download URL when the file is ready. The same session_id can be used to poll for new uploads multiple times, allowing the capture URL to be reused.
