How does the tool handle duplicate episodes?

The tools use unique identifiers to ensure each episode is only counted once, even if it appears multiple times in the input list.

Can I filter episodes by their release status?

Yes, you can use `count_episodes_by_status` to count episodes that are marked as released or upcoming.

What kind of data does the summary tool provide?

The `get_episode_summary_stats` tool provides the total unique count, a distribution of episodes by series, and a distribution by status.
