Can my AI automatically find high-resolution artwork just by providing a game name?

Yes! Your agent can use `search_games` to find the unique ID and then run `get_artworks` or `search_covers` to retrieve multiple high-resolution image URLs directly from the IGDB cloud in seconds.

How do I easily check if a game is suitable for certain age groups in different regions?

Simply ask the agent to run the `list_age_ratings` tool. It will compile data from global systems like ESRB, PEGI, and CERO, providing precise content descriptors and rating levels for the target title.

Does the integration permit listing all games within a specific franchise or collection?

Yes. Tools like `get_franchise` and `list_collections` allow your agent to retrieve the entire historical timeline of a series, grouping related titles and spin-offs under their structural parent IDs.
