Rate limit: inherited from each selected backend.

— LLM Agent Guidance — Use this command when the user asks for a cross-catalogue entity lookup and has not already chosen a backend. The type positional is required; do not guess it. Results are not deduplicated across sources, scores are not averaged, and each row carries _source plus _prefix_id when a follow-up animedex show call can route it. Partial source failures return the healthy rows and report failed sources in the envelope and stderr. — End —
