Omit indexer_ids and categories to search all enabled indexers and categories. Results preserve Prowlarr's ordering. The indexer_id and guid identify a release for a future download submission capability, which is not available in version 0.1. |

TDQS
Scored across 1 tool
There is only one tool, so there is no possibility of confusing it with another. Its purpose is clearly focused on searching releases, making misselection unnecessary.
search_releases follows a clean verb_noun naming convention. With a single tool there is no conflicting pattern, and the name accurately describes the operation.
A single tool is slightly thin for a server named Prowlarr, but it is appropriate for the currently advertised search-only capability. The missing functionality is explicitly reserved for a future version, so the count is reasonable, not excessive.
The search tool offers robust coverage for querying, filtering by categories or indexer_ids, and fetching recent releases. However, there is no way to discover available indexer_ids or continue from a search result to download submission, and the description explicitly notes that capability is unavailable, leaving a meaningful workflow gap.
