Can I create a certificate and send it to someone in one workflow?

Yes! First use `create_credential` with the recipient details and template ID, then `issue_credential` to make it official, and finally `send_credential` to deliver it via email.

How do I find the right template ID to use when creating a credential?

Use the `list_credential_templates` tool to browse all available templates. Each template includes its ID, name, and description. Copy the ID and use it in the `create_credential` tool.

Can I search for a credential by the recipient's email address?

Absolutely. Use the `search_credentials` tool and enter the recipient's email as the query. It will return all credentials matching that email address.
