Tools as reported by the server

• musicbrainz_search_entities
  Full-text search across a MusicBrainz entity type (artist, release-group, release, recording, work, label) using a Lucene query string. Returns ranked matches with MBID, name/title, disambiguation, subtype where applicable, release status, and a 0–100 relevance score (100 = exact). Release rows use
• musicbrainz_get_artist
  Artist profile by MBID: type, country, life span, gender, area, aliases, tags/genres, release-groups, band-membership / collaboration relationships, and external links. Release-groups embed one upstream page (25); relationships are not capped. For the complete release-group list, call musicbrainz_br

  Release-group ("the album" above specific pressings) by MBID: primary type (Album/Single/EP) and secondary types (Live/Compilation), first-release date, artist credit, the list of releases (editions), tags/genres, and cover-art availability from the Cover Art Archive (image count and front/back flag

• musicbrainz_lookup_identifier
  Resolve a standard identifier to MusicBrainz entities without a name search — the deterministic path when you already hold an ID. id_type=isrc → recordings (a recording-level code, often shared by several recordings); id_type=iswc → works (a composition-level code); id_type=barcode → releases (UPC/E
• musicbrainz_browse_entities
