is there any idea for know if the raster dataset has pyramid inside its own file or outside as with .rrd or .ovr ?

the buildpyramid tools supply as option for skip existing, but I don't want to build pyramid for which not has, just want to know.

thanks.

you can examine the layer's properties to see if pyramids exist (right-click on the layer)

auxilary files (rrd, ovr) can be found using Windows file explorer in the path where the raster resides... if they exist

Oh.....

I mean by python, arcpy or gdal or other libraries, actually, there are thousands of raster datasets.....

Batch Build Pyramids (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation is all that is in arcpy.  gdal has similar functionality

This may not be what you are looking for, but one way to get information on a hosted map service's tiles is using the REST apis - specifically this one.

If you look at the response JSON's "lodInfos" section you can see which sets of tiles have been built. I've never worked with .rrd or .ovr files.

Maybe there is a way to do this via a python API, but I'm not sure.
