Check the status of a video generation job. Works for both HeyGen and Veo. Poll until status is
AI agents call get_video_status to retrieve information from VideoGen Advisor without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that polls for status updates on existing video generation jobs. It retrieves data about job state but has no side effects—no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of new operations. The action is purely informational.
