How can I find a specific character by their name?

You can use the `list_people` tool and provide the name in the `search` parameter. The agent will return all matching characters from the Star Wars universe.

How do I get more details about a URL found in a result (like a homeworld)?

Use the `get_resource_by_url` tool. Simply pass the full URL (e.g., https://swapi.dev/api/planets/1/) to fetch the complete metadata for that specific resource.

Can I search for starships using their model name instead of their common name?

Yes! The `list_starships` tool allows searching by both name and model. Just enter the model string into the `search` parameter.
