When to Use vs Other Tools

Use get_artist when...	Use something else when...
You want all projects by a specific artist	You want to browse projects broadly → discover_projects
You know the artist's name, slug, or wallet address	You have a specific project ID → get_project
You want to compare an artist's body of work	You need token-level data → get_token_metadata

Notes

• Results include artBlocksUrl for each project — use these when presenting projects to users
• The artistSlug field in results (under artistProfiles) can be used for subsequent lookups
• The tool excludes unassigned/test projects automatically
• If the artist name is ambiguous (partial match returns multiple artists), the artistNames array will show all matched names
• projectIndex is the project number on the contract (e.g. 78); id is the full project ID (e.g. 0xa7d8...d270-78)
