The full description, as the server gives it to an agent

For a job a tool started (a list by reference bigger than one call): its status (queued, running, done, failed), rows done of the total, about how many minutes are left, and when done its run_id (use it as source { run } in any tool, or from_run in render_map) and what was written to the sheet.

Use it in Claude

Add the connector https://get-instamaps.com/mcp and ask in plain words. 5,000 tool calls a day per person, reset at midnight UTC; a call counts once however many rows it carries; a sheet by reference is one call; checking a job is free.
