Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

BidClub publishes bilingual digests and transcripts of investment and technology podcasts. Search or list to find a slug, then read the tldr or digest section; page a transcript only when the summary is not enough.

bidclub_list_shows — List shows
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

List every show in the BidClub library with its id, display name, source language, hosts, and source links. Start here when you need a show id for the show parameter of the other tools.

bidclub_list_episodes — List episodes
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

List episodes newest first, optionally narrowed to one show. Returns metadata only — titles, deks, dates, durations, participant chips and source links — never the digest or transcript. Use bidclub_get_episode for content.

bidclub_search_episodes — Search episodes
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Full-text search across titles, deks, TL;DRs, digests and transcripts, with a substring sweep that handles Chinese queries the tokenizer cannot segment. Returns up to 20 metadata rows, never content. When the response carries partial: true the query only covered the newest searched_recent episodes, so say so rather than reporting an absence.

bidclub_get_episode — Get episode content
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Read one section of an episode. Long sections page deterministically: when the result says truncated: true, call again with offset set to next_offset and concatenate content_md until next_offset is null. Prefer tldr or digest — a transcript can exceed 100,000 characters and is rarely worth paging in full. lang selects the OUTPUT edition, not a catalogue filter; transcripts exist only in the episode's source language, so requesting a different lang for section=transcript always returns the source with lang_fallback: true.

bidclub_feed_index — Feed index
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

The slim catalogue of every episode — one row each, metadata only. Narrow it with show or person; passing both is an error. Large responses are truncated to the newest rows with a note, so filter rather than paging.

bidclub_download_links — Download links
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Build the download URLs for an episode or a whole show without fetching anything. Hand these to the user, or fetch one yourself when you need a complete transcript in a single request instead of paging it through bidclub_get_episode. Exactly one of slug or show is required.
