Discovered
open_catalogue

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.

Discovered
recommend_documentaries

Find and display similar documentaries with reasons in the GuideDoc explorer. For "more like the second one", use the ID at visible position 2 in explorer context. Preserve explicit duration, subtitle and subject filters. Defaults to films available on GuideDoc unless another scope is requested. No viewing history. Pass explorer_id from the active explorer context to update its view.

Discovered

Discovered

Pass explorer_id from the active explorer context to update its view.
