How do I find the unique GUID for a specific game or character?

You can use the `search` tool with your query. The results will include the `guid` (e.g., 3030-4725) for each item, which you can then use with `get_game` or `get_character` for full details.

Can I filter games by a specific platform or developer?

Yes! Use the `list_games` tool and provide a string to the `filter` parameter (e.g., `platforms:146` or `name:Mario`). You can also use `field_list` to limit the data returned.

What kind of resources can I search for simultaneously?

The `search` tool allows you to specify multiple types in the `resources` parameter, such as `game,character,company,platform`. This returns the most relevant matches across all those categories in one go.
