Can I check the total play count for an episode using the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_episode` tool with the Episode ID. Your agent will fetch the detailed metadata, which includes the `total_plays` field for that specific episode.

How do I update the description of a podcast episode?

Simply ask the agent to `update_episode` and provide the Episode ID and the new description. The information will be synchronized with Buzzsprout immediately.

Does the integration allow uploading new audio files?

Currently, the toolset focuses on managing metadata, status, and analytics. Creating an episode via `create_episode` allows setting the title and description, but the audio file upload should be managed through the Buzzsprout web interface.
