True, but that would mean you have to spin up a backgrounded server instance to connect to, and assumes that no other instance is running yet.
I am (still!) getting used to the new workflow.
I would probably use calibredb myself now, though I do plan to run a server instance via my systemd user session.

I don't see an option in the new server to specify a saved search or restriction by which to limit the books a user can view.
