  What this check looks for
Description, as the server wrote it
Search and display documentary titles, filmmakers or topics inside GuideDoc. When this explorer is active, use for bare or ambiguous titles before answering from another meaning: 'Mon Petit' means query='Mon Petit', not a translation. Honor explicit translation/unrelated requests. Nonempty queries default to all documentary records, ranked by relevance; original_title identifies alternate names. Preserve filters explicitly requested by the user. For no matches, ask for identifying details; never invent a film. Empty arguments open all documentary records, newest first. Full films retain normal access requirements.

Anlyon alternative

4 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
