Country/Locale Support
The Wikipedia MCP server supports intuitive country and region codes as an alternative to language codes. This makes it easier to access region-specific Wikipedia content without needing to know language codes.
Supported Countries and Regions
Use --list-countries to see all supported countries:
wikipedia-mcp --list-countriesThis will display countries organized by language, for example:
Supported Country/Locale Codes:
========================================
en: US, USA, United States, UK, GB, Canada, Australia, ...

Major languages: JP→
ja, DE→de, FR→fr, ES→es, IT→it, RU→ru, etc.Regional variants: Supports 140+ countries and regions
Error Handling
If you specify an unsupported country, you'll get a helpful error message:
$ wikipedia-mcp --country INVALID
Error: Unsupported country/locale: 'INVALID'.
Supported country codes include: US, USA, UK, GB, CA, AU, NZ, IE, ZA, CN.
Use --language parameter for direct language codes instead.
Use --list-countries to see supported country codes.Language Variants
The Wikipedia MCP server supports language variants for languages that have multiple writing systems or regional variations. This feature is particularly useful for Chinese, Serbian, Kurdish, and other languages with multiple scripts or regional differences.
Supported Language Variants
Chinese Language Variants
zh-hans- Simplified Chinesezh-hant- Traditional Chinesezh-tw- Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)zh-hk- Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)zh-mo- Traditional Chinese (Macau)zh-cn- Simplified Chinese (China)zh-sg- Simplified Chinese (Singapore)zh-my- Simplified Chinese (Malaysia)
Serbian Language Variants
sr-latn- Serbian Latin scriptsr-cyrl- Serbian Cyrillic script
Kurdish Language Variants
ku-latn- Kurdish Latin scriptku-arab- Kurdish Arabic script
Norwegian Language Variants
no- Norwegian (automatically mapped to Bokmål)
Usage Examples
# Access Simplified Chinese Wikipedia
wikipedia-mcp --language zh-hans
# Access Traditional Chinese Wikipedia (Taiwan)
wikipedia-mcp --language zh-tw
# Access Serbian Wikipedia in Latin script
wikipedia-mcp --language sr-latn
# Access Serbian Wikipedia in Cyrillic script
wikipedia-mcp --language sr-cyrlHow Language Variants Work
When you specify a language variant like zh-hans, the server:
Maps the variant to the base Wikipedia language (e.g.,
zhfor Chinese variants)Uses the base language for API connections to the Wikipedia servers
Includes the variant parameter in API requests to get content in the specific variant
Returns content formatted according to the specified variant's conventions
This approach ensures optimal compatibility with Wikipedia's API while providing access to variant-specific content and formatting.
Example Prompts
Once the server is running and configured with Claude Desktop, you can use prompts like:
General Wikipedia queries:
"Tell me about quantum computing using the Wikipedia information."
"Summarize the history of artificial intelligence based on Wikipedia."
"What does Wikipedia say about climate change?"
"Find Wikipedia articles related to machine learning."
"Get me the introduction section of the article on neural networks from Wikipedia."
"What are the coordinates of the Eiffel Tower?"
"Find the latitude and longitude of Mount Everest from Wikipedia."
"Get coordinate information for famous landmarks in Paris."
Using country-specific Wikipedia:
"Search Wikipedia China for information about the Great Wall." (uses Chinese Wikipedia)
"Tell me about Tokyo from Japanese Wikipedia sources."
"What does German Wikipedia say about the Berlin Wall?"
"Find information about the Eiffel Tower from French Wikipedia."
"Get Taiwan Wikipedia's article about Taiwanese cuisine."
Language variant examples:
"Search Traditional Chinese Wikipedia for information about Taiwan."
"Find Simplified Chinese articles about modern China."
"Get information from Serbian Latin Wikipedia about Belgrade."
MCP Resources
The server also provides MCP resources (similar to HTTP endpoints but for MCP):
search/{query}: Search Wikipedia for articles matching the queryarticle/{title}: Get the full content of a Wikipedia articlesummary/{title}: Get a summary of a Wikipedia articlesections/{title}: Get the sections of a Wikipedia articlelinks/{title}: Get the links in a Wikipedia articlecoordinates/{title}: Get the coordinates of a Wikipedia articlesummary/{title}/query/{query}/length/{max_length}: Get a query-focused summary of an articlesummary/{title}/section/{section_title}/length/{max_length}: Get a summary of a specific article sectionfacts/{title}/topic/{topic_within_article}/count/{count}: Extract key facts from an article

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Claude Desktop Connection Issues
Problem: Claude Desktop shows errors like spawn wikipedia-mcp ENOENT or cannot find the command.
Cause: This occurs when the wikipedia-mcp command is installed in a user-specific location (like ~/.local/bin/) that's not in Claude Desktop's PATH.
Solutions:
Use full path to the command (Recommended):
{ "mcpServers": { "wikipedia": { "command": "/home/username/.local/bin/wikipedia-mcp" } } }To find your exact path, run:
which wikipedia-mcpInstall with pipx for global access:
pipx install wikipedia-mcpThen use the standard configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "wikipedia": { "command": "wikipedia-mcp" } } }Create a symlink to a global location:
sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/wikipedia-mcp /usr/local/bin/wikipedia-mcp
Other Issues
Article Not Found: Check the exact spelling of article titles
Rate Limiting: Wikipedia API has rate limits; consider adding delays between requests
Large Articles: Some Wikipedia articles are very large and may exceed token limits
Troubleshooting Search Issues
If you're experiencing empty search results, use the new diagnostic tools:
1. Test Connectivity
Use the test_wikipedia_connectivity tool to check if you can reach Wikipedia's API:
{
"tool": "test_wikipedia_connectivity"
}This returns diagnostics including:
Connection status (
successorfailed)Response time in milliseconds
Site/host information when successful
Error details when connectivity fails
2. Enhanced Search Error Information
The search_wikipedia tool now returns detailed metadata:
{
"tool": "search_wikipedia",
"arguments": {
"query": "Ada Lovelace",
"limit": 10
}
}Example response:
{
"query": "Ada Lovelace",
"results": [...],
"count": 5,
"status": "success",
"language": "en"
}When no results are found, you receive:
{
"query": "nonexistent",
"results": [],
"status": "no_results",
"count": 0,
"language": "en",
"message": "No search results found. This could indicate connectivity issues, API errors, or simply no matching articles."
}3. Common Search Issues and Solutions
Empty results: Run the connectivity test, verify query spelling, try broader terms.
Connection errors: Check firewall or proxy settings, ensure
*.wikipedia.orgis reachable.API limits: Requests with
limit > 500are automatically capped; negative values reset to the default (10).
4. Debugging with Verbose Logging
Launch the server with debug logging for deeper insight:
wikipedia-mcp --log-level DEBUGThis emits the request parameters, response status codes, and any warnings returned by the API.
Understanding the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is not a traditional HTTP API but a specialized protocol for communication between LLMs and external tools. Key characteristics:
Uses stdio for local integrations and streamable HTTP for network integrations (
sseretained for legacy compatibility)Designed specifically for AI model interaction
Provides standardized formats for tools, resources, and prompts
Integrates directly with Claude and other MCP-compatible AI systems
Claude Desktop acts as the MCP client, while this server provides the tools and resources that Claude can use to access Wikipedia information.

22 toolsextract_key_factsCRead-onlyIdempotent
Extract key facts from a Wikipedia article, optionally focused on a topic.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent behavior. The description adds minimal behavioral info: 'returns a dictionary containing a list of facts.' No details on pagination, limits, or error handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, no superfluous content. Front-loaded with purpose; every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the existence of an output schema, return documentation is less critical. However, the description lacks usage guidelines and parameter details, making it incomplete for an agent to decide when and how to use this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should explain parameters. It implicitly connects 'topic' to topic_within_article and count may be inferred, but does not clarify the range or behavior of count, nor the format of topic_within_article.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (extract key facts) and the resource (Wikipedia article), with an optional topic focus. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like get_summary by specifying 'key facts' and the return type, though it does not explicitly contrast with similar tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_summary or summarize_article_for_query. The description only mentions optional topic focus, but lacks context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_articleBRead-onlyIdempotent
Get the full content of a Wikipedia article.
Returns a dictionary containing article details or an error message if retrieval fails.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | |
| exists | Yes | |
| pageid | No | |
| summary | No | |
| text | No | |
| url | No | |
| sections | No | |
| categories | No | |
| links | No | |
| error | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds that it returns a dictionary or error message, which is basic behavioral info but does not disclose additional traits like rate limits or size constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, consisting of two sentences that front-load the purpose and indicate return type. No extraneous information is present.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, return value details are not needed. However, the description lacks parameter guidance and usage context relative to many siblings, making it only minimally complete for a tool with one parameter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one required parameter 'title' with no description, and schema coverage is 0%. The description does not elaborate on the parameter, such as format requirements or case sensitivity, failing to compensate for the lack of schema description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it retrieves the full content of a Wikipedia article, using the verb 'get' and specifying the resource. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like get_summary or get_sections.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus its siblings, such as get_summary or get_sections. The description only states what it does without usage context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_coordinatesARead-onlyIdempotent
Get the coordinates of a Wikipedia article.
Returns a dictionary containing coordinate information.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | |
| exists | Yes | |
| pageid | No | |
| coordinates | No | |
| error | No | |
| message | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description adds minimal behavioral context. It mentions returning a dictionary, but does not disclose edge cases (e.g., missing coordinates) or error behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences with no filler. Every word adds value, making it efficient and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has an output schema, so the description does not need to detail return structure. It covers the basic purpose and return type, but lacks details on error handling or prerequisites. Still, it is fairly complete for a simple lookup tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate, but it only implicitly conveys that 'title' is the article title. Since the parameter is obvious from the tool purpose, this is adequate but not explicit.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it gets coordinates of a Wikipedia article, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes well from sibling tools like get_article, get_links, etc., by specifying the exact data returned.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving coordinates but does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_summary or get_article. No when-not-to-use or alternative guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_linksARead-onlyIdempotent
Get the links contained within a Wikipedia article.
Returns a dictionary with the article title and list of links.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | |
| links | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description does not add further behavioral context (e.g., rate limits, pagination, article validity), but given annotations, this level is acceptable.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no redundancy. It efficiently states the function and return format, earning its place without filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and a known return type (output schema exists), the description is complete. It covers what the tool does and what it returns, sufficient for agent invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With schema description coverage at 0%, the description partially compensates by clarifying that 'title' refers to a Wikipedia article. However, it provides no additional formatting guidance (e.g., case sensitivity, spaces), leaving ambiguity. Baseline 3 is appropriate for a single obvious parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('links contained within a Wikipedia article'), clearly distinguishing it from siblings like 'get_summary' or 'get_sections'. It also specifies the return format (dictionary with title and list of links).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. For a Wikipedia toolset with many siblings, this omission leaves the agent without decision support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_sectionsARead-onlyIdempotent

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and followed by the return type. No unnecessary words or details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no nested objects, output schema exists), the description adequately covers purpose, input, and output. Minor improvement could include input format hints, but not essential.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds no extra meaning to the 'title' parameter beyond its name. The parameter is simple and self-explanatory, but the description should compensate for missing schema details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'sections of a Wikipedia article', and specifies the return type as a dictionary with title and list of sections. This distinguishes it from siblings like get_article or get_summary.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides implicit context for when to use the tool (to retrieve section structure) but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives like get_article for full content.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_summaryBRead-onlyIdempotent

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no redundant information. First sentence states purpose, second explains return structure and error handling. Efficient and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple input (one string parameter) and presence of output schema, the description sufficiently covers purpose, return format, and error case. Annotations provide additional safety context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 0% description coverage. Description does not explain the 'title' parameter beyond implying it's the article's title. No details on formatting, case sensitivity, or validation rules.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states action ('Get a summary') and resource ('Wikipedia article'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_article' by specifying a summary, but does not differentiate from other summary tools like 'summarize_article_for_query'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words, effectively conveying the tool's purpose in a minimal form.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is complete for a simple search tool with an output schema present. It does not explain the return format, but the output schema likely covers that. The safety and idempotency are well-defined by annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, and both parameters have descriptions in the input schema. The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond what is already provided in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it searches Wikipedia for articles matching a query, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_article or get_summary.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (readOnly, idempotent), the description adds that it returns a snippet around the query and that max_length controls snippet length. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given an output schema exists, the description is nearly complete for understanding the tool's function, though it could clarify whether the snippet always comes from the summary or article text.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description partially compensates by explaining max_length and the snippet concept, but doesn't elaborate on title and query beyond their names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it gets a summary tailored to a query, distinguishing it from siblings like get_summary (generic) and summarize_article_section (section-specific).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains it's for query-focused snippets but doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives. The query-tailored focus implies usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
summarize_article_sectionCRead-onlyIdempotent

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds only that the tool returns a dictionary or error, which is minimal. It does not disclose potential failure modes (e.g., missing sections), performance characteristics, or dependency on network calls. Given annotations, the description adds little value beyond the structured fields.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short (two sentences) and front-loaded with the core purpose. However, the brevity sacrifices important details like parameter semantics and behavioral notes. It is concise but incomplete, earning a middle score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema and clear annotations, the description omits crucial context: it does not mention the output structure, the effect of 'max_length', or how the tool differs from siblings. For a tool with 3 parameters and a specific use case, the description is significantly incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 3 parameters with 0% description coverage (no schema-level descriptions). The tool description does not explain any parameter meaning. 'title' and 'section_title' are intuitive from the tool name, but 'max_length' (with default 150) is not explained at all. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action ('Get a summary') and resource ('specific section of a Wikipedia article'). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_summary' (which likely summarizes the whole article) or 'summarize_article_for_query'. The purpose is clear but lacks context for distinguishing among related tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, expected usage patterns, or cases where this tool should be preferred over siblings such as 'get_summary' or 'extract_key_facts'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
test_wikipedia_connectivityARead-onlyIdempotent

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no wasted words. The purpose and outputs are front-loaded, making it efficient for agent parsing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given zero parameters and presence of output schema, the description fully covers required context: it explains output fields and error conditions, ensuring completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters are present, so baseline is 4. The description effectively explains what the tool returns, adding semantic meaning beyond the empty schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it provides diagnostics for Wikipedia API connectivity, listing specific return values (base URL, language, site info, response time). This distinguishes it from sibling tools focused on content retrieval.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
While not explicitly stating when to use, the diagnostic purpose is clear, and the tool is distinct from content-focused siblings. The description implies use for checking connectivity before other calls.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
wikipedia_extract_key_factsBRead-onlyIdempotent

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. The description adds that it returns a dictionary or error message, but does not disclose behaviors like handling of missing articles, redirects, or disambiguation pages. Given the annotations, the description adds minimal behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (two sentences, 20 words) but under-specifies important details. It is not verbose, but the brevity sacrifices completeness. It could be slightly expanded without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description does not need to detail return values. However, it lacks guidance on input format, error handling, and how this tool relates to siblings. With many sibling tools, more context is needed for effective selection.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not describe the sole parameter 'title'. The agent receives no help on what value to provide (e.g., exact title vs. partial, case-sensitivity). The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'get' and the resource 'full content of a Wikipedia article'. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_summary' or 'get_sections', which provide partial content. The purpose is unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools (e.g., 'get_summary', 'search_wikipedia'). There is no mention of preconditions, alternatives, or when not to use it. The agent must infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds that the return value is a dictionary containing coordinate information, but does not disclose error behavior (e.g., article not found, no coordinates available) or any side effects. The added value beyond annotations is minimal but not contradictory.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: two short sentences that state the purpose and return type without extraneous information. Every sentence contributes value, and the structure is optimal for quick comprehension.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, output schema exists), the description covers the essential purpose and return type. However, it does not mention edge cases like missing coordinates or invalid article titles. With an output schema present, the return structure is covered, so the description is largely complete but could be slightly more robust.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter 'title' has no schema description (0% coverage). The tool description does not explain what 'title' represents (e.g., the exact Wikipedia article title) or any formatting requirements. While the parameter name is self-explanatory, the lack of explicit documentation reduces score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get the coordinates of a Wikipedia article', specifying the action (get coordinates) and the resource (Wikipedia article). Although a sibling named 'get_coordinates' exists, the explicit mention of 'Wikipedia article' distinguishes it, and the tool name itself includes the 'wikipedia' prefix.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_article, get_summary, or the sibling get_coordinates). No prerequisites, context, or restrictions are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer usage without explicit direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description does not need to repeat safety. It adds the return structure (dictionary with title and sections), which is useful but not extensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the action, zero waste. Every word earns its place for the simplicity of the tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-parameter tool with comprehensive annotations and an output schema, the description is complete. It covers purpose and return format, leaving no significant gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It loosely implies the 'title' parameter is the article title, but does not explicitly state it must be the exact Wikipedia title. This is adequate but not thorough.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get the sections of a Wikipedia article' with a specific verb and resource. It does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'get_article' or 'get_summary', but the resource is unique enough for the agent to infer purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage (when you need sections of an article) but provides no explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives. With multiple similar siblings, more explicit context would be helpful.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
wikipedia_get_summaryBRead-onlyIdempotent
Get a summary of a Wikipedia article.

| error | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds minimal behavioral context: it returns a dictionary containing title and summary, and includes an error message on failure. This is adequate but not extensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, front-loading the core action. No unnecessary words; every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple tool and rich annotations, the description covers the basic functionality and error behavior. However, considering the many sibling tools, some additional context (e.g., case-sensitivity, language handling) would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter 'title' with no description (0% coverage). The description adds little beyond implying the parameter is a Wikipedia article title. No format, constraints, or examples are provided, so the agent lacks sufficient guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Get a summary of a Wikipedia article', which clearly identifies the verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_summary' or 'summarize_article_for_query', so a small deduction applies.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_summary' or 'summarize_article_for_query'. It simply states what the tool does without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
wikipedia_search_wikipediaBRead-onlyIdempotent
Search Wikipedia for articles matching a query.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | The search term to look up on Wikipedia. | |
| limit | No | Maximum number of results to return (1-500). |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | |
| results | No | |
| status | Yes | |
| count | No | |
| language | No | |
| message | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds no extra behavioral context beyond the annotations, making it adequate but not additive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that gets to the point quickly. No wasted words, though it could benefit from slight expansion to address sibling differentiation without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple search functionality and presence of an output schema, the description is minimally sufficient. However, it lacks context for differentiating from many similarly named sibling tools, which impacts completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema covers both parameters with descriptions, achieving 100% coverage. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool searches Wikipedia for articles matching a query, providing a specific verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish itself from sibling tools like 'search_wikipedia' or 'get_summary', which may cause confusion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or limitations. The one-line description leaves the agent without context for proper selection among many similar siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
wikipedia_summarize_article_for_queryARead-onlyIdempotent
Get a summary of a Wikipedia article tailored to a specific query.
The summary is a snippet around the query within the article text or summary. The max_length parameter controls the length of the snippet.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | ||
| query | Yes | ||
| max_length | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | |
| query | Yes | |
| summary | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent behavior. The description adds that the summary is a snippet around the query and that max_length controls length, which provides useful behavioral context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no redundant information. It front-loads the main purpose and immediately explains key behavior and parameter.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, presence of output schema, and annotations, the description is largely complete. It covers the core functionality and parameter roles, though it omits mention of error scenarios or prerequisites.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains that title specifies the article, query tailors the snippet, and max_length controls length. This provides basic semantics for all parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it gets a summary tailored to a query, but does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'summarize_article_for_query' which has a nearly identical name and likely similar functionality.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_summary' or 'summarize_article_for_query'. No when-to-use or when-not-to-use information is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
wikipedia_summarize_article_sectionCRead-onlyIdempotent
Get a summary of a specific section of a Wikipedia article.
Returns a dictionary containing the section summary or an error.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | ||
| section_title | Yes | ||
| max_length | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| title | Yes | |
| section_title | Yes | |
| summary | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, providing a strong safety profile. The description adds that the tool returns a dictionary with a summary or an error, which is basic. It does not disclose error conditions or behavior for missing sections, but annotations cover the main behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise—two sentences, front-loaded with the action. It wastes no words, though it could briefly mention the required parameters without compromising brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 3 parameters with no schema descriptions and the presence of many sibling tools, the description is insufficiently complete. It omits details about the optional max_length parameter and how to specify the section_title (e.g., exact case). The output schema exists but is not referenced, and the description does not address potential errors.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning parameters have no descriptions in the schema. The tool description does not explain the parameters (title, section_title, max_length) beyond the overall purpose. It does not clarify the format of section_title or the effect of max_length, leaving the agent with no additional semantic value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get a summary') and the resource ('specific section of a Wikipedia article'). It distinguishes the tool from full-article summary tools like 'get_summary' but does not differentiate it from the similarly named sibling 'summarize_article_section'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus related siblings such as 'summarize_article_for_query' or 'get_summary'. The description lacks any context about appropriate use cases or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
wikipedia_test_wikipedia_connectivityARead-onlyIdempotent
Provide diagnostics for Wikipedia API connectivity.
Returns the base API URL, language, site information, and response time in milliseconds. If connectivity fails, status will be 'failed' with error details.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| status | Yes | |
| url | Yes | |
| language | Yes | |
| site_name | No | |
| server | No | |
| response_time_ms | No | |
| error | No | |
| error_type | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds value by specifying success and failure outcomes, including response time and error details, without contradicting annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loading the purpose and providing essential details without redundancy. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a no-parameter connectivity test, the description fully covers the purpose, expected output, and failure behavior. An output schema exists but is not needed for clarity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, so no parameter documentation is needed. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4. The description does not add parameter info, but none is required.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it provides diagnostics for Wikipedia API connectivity, listing specific return items: base API URL, language, site information, response time, and error details. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_article or search_wikipedia by focusing on connectivity testing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when diagnosing API connectivity, but it does not explicitly provide when-not-to-use or compare with the sibling tool 'test_wikipedia_connectivity'. The name and context are clear, but explicit guidance would improve it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

There are duplicate tools with and without the 'wikipedia_' prefix, causing confusion. Additionally, some tools like get_summary and summarize_article_for_query have overlapping purposes.
Two naming conventions are used inconsistently (with and without 'wikipedia_' prefix). While individual verbs like 'get' and 'search' are clear, the duplication breaks consistency.
22 tools is slightly high but reasonable for a Wikipedia domain. However, half are duplicates, so the effective count is 11, which is well-scoped.
The tool set covers search, article retrieval, summaries, sections, links, coordinates, key facts, and related topics. Missing minor features like history or images but adequate for core Wikipedia access.
