Grounds LLMs in real Old Norse: lemmas, mediopassive paradigms, English→Old Norse lookup.
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have different scopes: norse_search is for general lookup (and can inline inflection tables), while norse_get_inflections is a fallback to fetch a table by handle when search didn't provide it. The descriptions make this relationship clear, though the overlap in returned data could cause confusion if the user misses the 'only when inline forms are missing' caveat.
Both tools use the same prefix 'norse_' and a readable verb/noun structure: norse_search (verb) and norse_get_inflections (verb_noun). The naming is consistent and predictable, though the slight difference in pattern (search vs get_inflections) is minor.
Two tools is on the thin side for a domain that involves looking up words and retrieving inflection tables, but it may be sufficient if search is comprehensive. The count feels borderline; a dedicated lookup for English-to-Old-Norse or other operations could be expected but isn't present.
The server covers search and inflection retrieval, which are core. However, it lacks tools for other common operations like browsing by category, getting etymology, or checking word frequency. The absence of a direct lookup by lemma (without a handle) is a notable gap, though the search tool may suffice.
Fetch the full declension (nominals) or conjugation (verbs — active AND mediopassive) tables for a lemma identified by a search result's inflection handle (entry_id + word_class). Use this only when a search ran without inline forms or left a match un-expanded — a default search already returns each match's table inline. Returns Markdown plus the table as structuredContent with the shape {"result": } per the declared outputSchema — switch on result.category ('nominal' | 'verbal' | 'not_found') before reading the body. Content from en.wiktionary.org (CC BY-SA 4.0).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| entry_id | Yes | The Wiktionary page title (the lemma) from a search result's inflection handle, e.g. 'maðr', 'kasta'. | |
| word_class | Yes | The part-of-speech section from a search result's inflection handle, e.g. 'verb', 'noun', 'adjective'. |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
Look an Old Norse word up on Wiktionary and return its senses plus full declension/conjugation tables — attested content (including the verbs' mediopassive voice), not invented. Any form of the word works; an inflected query is resolved to its lemma automatically via previously cached paradigms and the result notes the resolution. With search_language='eng' the query is an English word instead: the result lists its per-sense Old Norse equivalents (the translations block) plus their expanded entries. Returns Markdown plus the same result as structuredContent matching the declared outputSchema.
Results are cached server-side; first-time queries reach the live upstream politely and calls are rate limited — on a rate-limit error, wait a few seconds and retry. Content is from en.wiktionary.org (CC BY-SA 4.0 — attribute and share alike if republished).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | The word to look up, in the language search_language names. Old Norse (default): a SINGLE Old Norse word, any form — an inflected form ('mǫnnum') is resolved to its lemma ('maðr') automatically via cached paradigms, and the result says so; diacritics are optional once a paradigm is cached ('madr' and 'mathr' both find maðr, 'monnum' finds mǫnnum). English (search_language='eng'): the English word whose Old Norse equivalents you want — multiword entries like 'apple tree' work. | |
| max_forms | No | Optional override for how many inflection tables to expand this call (0–12). On an uncached query each table is one politely paced upstream fetch, so high values on cold queries are slow. Omit for the server default. | |
| include_forms | No | When true (default), each match's full declension/conjugation table is returned INLINE — usable cases/tenses (and the verbs' mediopassive voice) in ONE call, no follow-up norse_get_inflections. Set false for a cheap screen of which entries exist. Bounded by a per-search cap — use max_forms to adjust per call. For eng queries this governs the expanded Old Norse entries; the per-sense translations list itself is always returned. | |
| search_language | No | Language the query word is in: 'non' (default) looks the Old Norse word up directly; 'eng' finds the Old Norse equivalents of an English word (per-sense, from Wiktionary's translation tables) and returns their full entries. Glosses are in English either way. | non |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| found | Yes | False when nothing matched. For an eng query, True means Old Norse translations were found — entries may still be empty when none of them could be expanded (see translations). |
| query | Yes | |
| source | No | |
| entries | No | |
| handles | No | |
| language | Yes | |
| translations | No | Populated only for eng queries (always [] for non): the Old Norse terms each English sense translates to, in sense order. Entries/handles below are the expanded dictionary entries of those terms. |
| resolved_from | No | The original inflected query when resolved; else empty. non queries only — always empty for eng results. |
| search_method | No | How the match was found: 'direct' = the query itself matched; 'lemma_index' = an inflected form resolved via a previously cached paradigm; 'translations' = an English query resolved via Wiktionary translation tables. |
| resolved_lemma | No | The lemma actually searched when resolved; else empty. non queries only — always empty for eng results. |
| forms_truncated | No | How many handles did NOT get an inline table because the per-search cap was reached. |
| translations_truncated | No | How many distinct translated lemmas were NOT expanded into entries because the per-search expansion cap was reached (they still appear under translations). |
