Get artists similar to the specified artist.
AI agents call get_similar_artists to retrieve information from TIDAL MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only returns information about similar artists from TIDAL's database. No data is changed or operations triggered, making it a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk of misuse.
