Check an edition code, the 8 characters printed on a copy of a Rolling Edition book (such as 483B-Z9SS): "current", "out_of_date" with the current edition and what changed since, or "not_found". A match says which edition the code names; it doesn't prove a copy is authentic.

}What changed in a book's editions, newest first: each edition's date, the kinds of change, its summaries, and the sections and examples it changed. Give `since_edition` for the editions after one you know, such as the edition a reader's copy names.

}A book's chapters and sections, in reading order, each with the ID that get_section takes. `book` is the book's slug from list_books, such as "open-table-formats".

}Read one section of a book as Markdown, with its subsections, its code examples (each with the versions it was run on and whether it passes) and its citation block. A chapter's ID gives the chapter's opening. A long section comes in pages: pass the `next_cursor` you were given as `cursor` for the next one. An earlier ID of a section still works, and the answer says what it's called now.

|---|---|---|
| book* | string | |
| cursor | any | |

}List Rolling Edition's books: each one's slug, title, summary, level, areas and skills, its current edition, the date its examples last passed, how many of its examples pass, and its link. Give `topic`, an area or skill ID such as "data-engineering" or "large-language-models", to list only the books on it.

}Find the passages that best match `query`, by its words, across every book or within one (`book`, a slug). Each result has its book, edition, section ID and title, a snippet, and the citation block to cite it with. Read a whole result with get_section. `limit` is 5 unless you ask for up to 10.
