list_authors
Check which women authors are represented in the curated corpus by name, including counts of works, passages, and curated items. Filter by name substring to see if a specific author exists.
Instructions
Find which women are in the corpus and how much of each: name, works, passages, curated.
Use when the user asks 'is X in there?' or 'who do you have on Y?'. Not a
passage search — pair with search_corpus once you know the name.

| status | Yes | ok — passages found that match most of the question's terms. weak — something matched, but thinly; say so if you use it. no_coverage — the corpus does not speak to this. Say that. Do not answer from elsewhere. not_found — a specific reference did not resolve. | |
| constraint | No | Answer only from these passages. Quote or closely paraphrase, and cite each claim as [Author, Title §n]. If the passages do not speak to the question, say so plainly rather than filling the gap from elsewhere. | |
| provenance | No | Every passage is from a work by a named woman author. Each hit's `source` says where that text came from and on what basis; `curated` says whether a person reviewed the edition. | |
| limitations | No | Part of the answer, not a disclaimer. |
