# MusicBrainz artist compositions

Which songs did this artist write, and how are they registered? Needs mbid.

Which songs did this artist write, and how are they registered? Musical works linked to an artist, as composer, lyricist or writer: title, language, ISWC codes and the work ids at collecting societies (SACEM, SOCAN, GEMA, PRS...). Use it to prepare sync licensing or rights clearance; it is community data, not a rights registry. About 1,700 characters per work; page with offset. Core data only: no tags, ratings or annotations.

- Tool ID: `musicbrainz/artist-works`

## Published example

This is the provider tool’s published example. Replace example values with the user’s requested inputs, respecting the schema; do not execute an example merely to test a connection.


```json
{
  "tool_id": "musicbrainz/artist-works",
  "input": {
    "mbid": "a74b1b7f-71a5-4011-9441-d0b5e4122711",
    "limit": 3
  }
}
```

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
