<essential_principles>

**The Pirate Bay frontend is a thin JS client over a public JSON API at `https://apibay.org`.** No scraping, no auth, no CAPTCHA required. The "robot check" popups on the site are spam ad overlays.

**Results come pre-sorted by seeders descending** — the healthiest torrents appear first.

**Safety heuristics for torrent selection:**
- Prefer `vip` (🟢) and `trusted` (🟡) uploaders — verified accounts
- Higher seeder count = healthier swarm = faster, safer download
- Check file list (`files` command) to verify contents before downloading
- Cross-reference file count and size against what you'd expect
- Avoid torrents with suspicious file names (`.exe` in a video torrent, etc.)

**Always use `--json` when the agent needs to reason about results programmatically.** The human-readable table output is for direct user presentation only. JSON mode gives structured data with parsed resolution, codec, source, quality scores, trust scores, and magnet links — everything needed to make smart decisions without re-parsing text.
