GET /v1/contact/search/{job_id}/status. Poll until status is
AI agents call get_contact_search_status to retrieve information from DataMerge MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves status information about an existing search job and does not modify, execute, or delete any data. It is a simple query operation to check the progress or result of a previously initiated operation, characteristic of Read category tools.
