List EPC certificate summaries at a postcode — for candidate selection. Returns one bounded page. Each entry contains only what the EPC search exposes: certificate_number, address, uprn (often absent), energy band, registration_date and schema_type. Energy score, floor area and property type are NOT available here — fetch a specific certificate for those. Workflow when a Rightmove listing has no house number: 1. property_epc_summaries(postcode) to list candidates. 2. Narrow by address text and, where present, uprn. 3. epc_certificate(lmk_key=<certificate_number>) for the chosen one, then cross-check its floor_area against the listing. 4. If several candidates remain equally plausible, present them all — do not guess. Selecting arbitrarily attaches another property's data. `complete` is false when the postcode holds more records than this page returns. Upstream page traversal is not snapshot-stable, so a multi-page result is a bounded sample, not a guaranteed-complete set. An empty `results` list means no certificates are lodged. If the EPC service cannot be reached the tool raises an error instead — never treat an error as evidence that a property has no certificate.
