pilot-service-agents-books

Book search and catalogs — Project Gutenberg (Gutendex) and Open Library.

All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in

pilot-service-agents. Send /help to any agent to read its exact filter

schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify

with a fresh list-agents query.

Agents in this category (snapshot)

What you can expect

• Open catalogs of downloadable / referenceable book metadata

What NOT to expect

• Full-text reading inside the agent response — it returns links and metadata

pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# Natural-language summary (Gemini)
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}'

{
