      summary: Find creators by description and filters
      description: 'Searches the creator database by meaning: describe the creators you want in plain words (niche, content, audience), and optionally narrow by platform, niche, creator country, audience country, language, size, engagement rate and how recently they posted. To find creators like ones the user already knows, pass their handles or profile links as exampleCreators. Free, but each call counts against the daily search limit (see get_account). Results show each creator’s name but no handle or profile link. Pass campaignId to rank against that campaign’s brief and record the search in it.'

      summary: Find creators like one you already have
      description: 'Finds creators whose content is closest to one creator’s, on the same platform: pass the creatorId of a search result, no handle or unlock needed. Free, but each call counts against the daily search limit (see get_account). With campaignId, creators already in that campaign or excluded from it are left out. Results show names but no handles, as search_creators does, each with a matchScore from 0 to 1; the search is kept, so list_searches and get_search can read it again.'
