## MCP tools (2)

### `phillips_results_search` (~371 tokens)

Look up realized prices for an artist or maker in Phillips' past-auction results. Returns that maker's most recent past lots with the realized price (hammer plus buyer's premium), the estimate range it sold against, currency, lot and sale number, saleroom, department and sale date. Phillips' keyword search is closed to crawlers, so this resolves the maker by NAME against Phillips' own artist index and reads their artist page — which means results are per-maker, and cover the 24 most recent past lots of the (reported) total. Optionally narrow by category/department, e.g. "jewels", "watches", "editions", "photographs", "design".

Input parameters:

- `artist` (string): Artist or maker name, e.g. "Banksy", "Jean-Michel Basquiat", "Patek Philippe". Matched against Phillips' artist index — exact match wins, otherwise the closest name is used and near-misses are return…
- `artist_id` (number): Optional Phillips makerId, e.g. 8845 for Banksy. Skips name resolution entirely — pass this back from a previous result's `artist_id` to save a round trip. Overrides `artist` when both are given.
- `category` (string): Optional filter, matched against the department, saleroom, sale number and lot title, e.g. "jewels", "watches", "editions", "photographs", "design", "London".
- `include_upcoming` (boolean): Also return the maker's upcoming (not yet sold) lots, which carry an estimate but no realized price. Default false.
- `limit` (number): Max past lots to return (1-24, default 20).

### `phillips_lot_details` (~139 tokens)

Full detail for one Phillips lot: work title, maker, lot number, realized price (hammer plus buyer's premium), hammer price, estimate range, currency, the sale it appeared in and its date, plus the catalogue image. Takes the `lot_id` from phillips_results_search.

Input parameters:

- `lot_id` (string, required): Phillips lot id (the `lot_id` / objectNumber from phillips_results_search), e.g. "233345".
- `slug` (string): Optional artist slug for the URL, e.g. "banksy". Decorative — any value resolves the same lot; omit to use a placeholder.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Phillips MCP server?
