Radarr Tools

Tools for searching, monitoring, and downloading movies through Radarr.

These five tools manage movies through Radarr — search for films, monitor their status, browse available releases, and trigger downloads.


Search for a movie and optionally add it to Radarr for monitoring. Use searchNow=false (the default) to add without auto-downloading, letting you pick a release manually via movie_releases + movie_grab.
