## FAQ

### How does the search function work for standard library modules?

It uses a local ranked search index over all 229 stdlib modules, searching both module names and their descriptions.

### Does the server handle large PyPI READMEs?

Yes, the README content is capped by a max_tokens parameter to prevent overwhelming the AI's context window.

### Is there a cache to speed up repeated requests?

Yes, it uses a SQLite TTL cache so that repeated lookups are instant.
