# Media and Assets Tools

> Fetch imagery and bounded media context without exposing raw metadata-update endpoints directly.

Fetch imagery and bounded media context without exposing raw metadata-update endpoints directly.

Use this family when the workflow fits this source-ownership boundary. Move to the tool page once you know the exact job and scope.

## Sequencing habits

* Use media calls as bounded enrichments rather than as primary sports-truth queries.
* Keep asset lookup attached to a real product surface such as a participant, event, or program tile.

## Decision guide

## Tool-by-tool guidance

### [`get_media_assets`](/sports-mcp-server/tool-reference/get_media_assets)

* Job: Return bounded imagery and asset context for sports entities or programs.
* Source ownership: GSD and On entity/program assets
* Use it when: the host needs logos, headshots, or other bounded visual assets without opening metadata-update planes directly.
* Do not use it when: the prompt is primarily about standings, schedules, or watchability and visuals are not needed.

## Next steps

* Use [Tool Catalog](/sports-mcp-server/tools/tool-catalog) when you want the full 1.4.1 surface in one place.
* Use [ID Acquisition and Tool Sequencing](/sports-mcp-server/tools/id-acquisition-and-tool-sequencing) when the host still needs provider refs or a safer tool order.
* Use [Prompt-to-Tool Mapping](/sports-mcp-server/prompt-to-tool-mapping) when you want a proven low-token workflow for a real user prompt.
