musicbrainz_browse_entities

This is the only complete-enumeration path: the get_* tools embed at most one page (25) of any linked list, so use this tool whenever a linked set may exceed a page (a prolific artist, a major label with thousands of releases, a heavily-covered work). Provide exactly ONE link MBID matching a valid parent→child relationship for the target_type. Pages arbitrarily deep via offset; totalCount is the true upstream total.
musicbrainz_get_artist

The 80% artist-detail call. Discography and relationships are capped at one page (25); for a prolific artist's complete release-group list, call musicbrainz_browse_entities with target_type=release-group and the artist link.
musicbrainz_get_cover_art

Returns an empty image set (NOT an error) when the entity has no art — absence of art is information. Art is served at the release level; a release-group MBID resolves to a representative release's art automatically. URLs are linked, never rehosted — image copyright stays with the rights holders (only MusicBrainz core metadata is CC0).
musicbrainz_get_label

A label's releases are a potentially huge linked set (a major label can have tens of thousands), so they are NOT embedded here — enumerate them with musicbrainz_browse_entities (target_type=release, link.label).
musicbrainz_get_recording

Relationships are capped at one page; for a heavily-covered recording call musicbrainz_browse_entities with target_type=recording and link.work.
musicbrainz_get_release

Track lengths are rendered m:ss (stored as milliseconds upstream). For the actual cover image URLs, call musicbrainz_get_cover_art with this release MBID.

The embedded releases list is capped at one page (25); for the complete set of editions, call musicbrainz_browse_entities with target_type=release and link.release-group. For a specific edition's tracklist, take a release MBID from the releases list and call musicbrainz_get_release.
musicbrainz_get_work

mbid*inc_relationships

The recording relationships are returned in full (the work lookup does not page them).

ISRC and ISWC hit dedicated exact endpoints; barcode is a Lucene search filter so results are ranked (exact match scores 100). The output kind field tells you which entity type came back.
