Wraps the TheGamesDB API, a community-driven database of video game metadata. The source doesn't list specific tools yet, but TheGamesDB typically offers endpoints for searching games, pulling box art and screenshots, fetching platform details, and retrieving genre and publisher information. You'd use this when building gaming apps, cataloging collections, or enriching game data with cover art and release dates. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can either connect to this standalone or tap into their full suite of 832+ data sources. Includes an ask_pipeworx helper that lets you query in plain English instead of calling structured tools directly.
