get_workspace_patentsRead patents from a Workspace folder. Use after list_workspace_spaces and list_workspace_folders. Current v1 supports keyword search and limit/offset pagination only. Important limits in v1: - filters, sort, range filters, custom-field filters, and AI annotation-field filters are not available until Workspace/CLI exposes the shared advanced-filter capability. - To read custom or AI annotation values, use get_workspace_annotations.
