Tools of Shelfclub
	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`find_books_by_mood`Find books in the ShelfClub catalog by mood, vibe, pace and genre tags. At least one tag is needed. Books that carry every requested tag are listed first, most read first; when there are fewer of those than asked for, books that carry some of the tags follow, and `matchAll` says how many of the books returned carry every tag. Each book is returned with its own tags. Returns up to 10 books, each with its ShelfClub id, authors, description, reader rating, series and shelfclub.app link. The tags are machine-generated, or voted for by at least three readers of the book.	Find books in the ShelfClub catalog by mood, vibe, pace and genre tags. At least one tag is needed.
