# Transcript search or generated content is missing

Check content permissions, transcript availability, filters, and generated asset state.

Transcript search and generated content assets depend on content-read access and on source content that exists for the selected podcast or episode.

## Check transcript access

1. Confirm that the grant includes `mcp:content:read`.
2. Confirm that the episode belongs to a podcast available to the connected account.
3. Call `get_episode_transcript` for that episode.
4. Use `limit` and `offset` to read later transcript segments.
5. Search with a specific spoken phrase or topic.
6. Remove an incorrect episode filter when you intend to search the complete podcast.

## Check generated assets

1. Call `list_content_assets` for the podcast.
2. Remove optional asset-type or status filters.
3. Check the asset `status` (`draft`, `ready`, or `archived`) and its `generation_status` (`queued`, `processing`, `completed`, or `failed`).
4. Use `get_content_asset` with the returned asset ID to read the complete asset.

The current MCP surface can read, search, and reuse source-backed content. It does not expose a general tool that generates and stores every possible content format.

## Expected result

The transcript call returns segments, search returns matching passages with episode context, or the asset list explains the current asset state.

## If content is still missing

Send Podigee Support the podcast and episode IDs, tool name, filters, time, and sanitized error. Do not send unpublished transcript text unless Support requests it through an approved channel.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/help-center/ai-agents/transcript-search-or-generated-content-is-missing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
