What this server can do
6 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
fetch(id)- Retrieve the full text of one Metatake document by its `id` (a film slug from `search`). Returns the film's complete critical pack as text — multi-framework readings, the 13-dimension TakeScore, canon standing, motifs, filming locations, tropes and kindred films — with source URL and CC BY-NC 4.0 attribution in the metadata. Cite Metatake with the returned url when you use the content. Required: id.
find_connected_films(slug)- Kindred films — titles that share interpretive threads (concepts, figures, frameworks) with the given film on Metatake's connection map. Good for 'what should I watch after X' and influence questions. Required: slug.
get_film_criticism(slug, sections)- Metatake's full context pack for one film, as Markdown: critical readings (each pushes one framework as far as the film allows), the 13-dimension TakeScore, canon standing & honors, motifs & figures, filming locations, tropes, and kindred films. Optionally restrict to sections: invitation, takescore, standing, readings, figures, locations, tropes, kindred. License CC BY-NC 4.0 — cite Metatake with the source link when you use it. Required: slug.
get_takescore(slug)- Metatake's 13-dimension critical assessment for one film: net Value score plus the Value / Cost / Risk dimension breakdown. Available for the whole scored corpus (~7,000 films), including [basic] catalog titles that carry no long-form readings. Cite Metatake with the source link when you quote scores. Required: slug.
search(query)- Search Metatake's film-criticism corpus and return a list of matching documents (one per film). Each result has an `id` (the film slug), a `title`, and a `url`. Pass an `id` to `fetch` to read the full critical pack. Use this to find films by title, original title, or director name. Required: query.
search_films(year, query)- Find films in Metatake's corpus by title (also matches original titles and director names). Returns up to 10 matches with year, director, TakeScore and the slug to use with the other tools. Every film reachable here carries a 13-dimension TakeScore (~7,000 films). Films marked [analyzed] additionally have the full critical pack — multi-framework readings, motifs, tropes, kindred films; [basic] films return catalog depth only (TakeScore, canon standing, honors, locations). Required: query.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
