• imdb_get_title ~122 tokens
  Full detail for one IMDB title by tconst id (e.g. "tt0111161"). Returns title, year, runtime, genres, plus rating (average + votes) and crew (directors/writers as nconst arrays).
• imdb_search ~307 tokens
  Search IMDB titles by primary_title (case-insensitive substring). Joins ratings inline so each hit includes average_rating + num_votes. Optionally filter by title_type, year range, or genre. Returns up to `limit` matches sorted by num_votes desc (popular first).
• imdb_top_rated ~255 tokens
  Highest-rated titles, filterable by title_type, genre, year range, and min vote count. Use min_votes to filter out obscure titles with inflated averages (e.g. min_votes=10000 for IMDB-Top-250-style lists).
