Rank the wiki's entities by a NUMERIC field and return the top (or bottom) N. Use this for ANY 'which has the most/least/highest/lowest X' question — never guess-and-confirm with wiki_search. Choose a kind, the field to rank 'by', order (desc = highest first, the default; asc = lowest first), an optional limit (default 5, max 25), an optional 'category' to scope to one tag (food/item/species only — e.g. category "seed"), and an optional numeric 'where' filter. Available fields by kind (a field that doesn't apply to a given entity — e.g. a tool stat on a non-tool — simply excludes it):
• food: calories, carbs, fat, protein, shelf_life, stack, vitamins, weight
• item (base + placed-object + tool + block facets): air_pollution, animal_damage, block_tier, calories_burn, damage, durability_burn, fertility, fuel, fuel_jps, grid_radius, hardness, harvest_yield, housing_value, is_fuel, is_mintable, is_road, is_weapon, labor_max, labor_min, max_coins, max_durability, move_efficiency, pollution, power_generated, power_watts, repair_level, room_tier, room_volume, school_value, seats, size_x, size_y, size_z, stack, storage_slots, storage_weight, tool_tier, vehicle_speed, weight
• recipe: craft_minutes, crafting_steps, ingredients, labor, products, skill_level, skill_max_level, xp
• skill: max_level, tier
• species (animals ∪ plants/trees): attacks_player, calorie_value, co2_per_day, health, ideal_temp_max, ideal_temp_min, is_predator, nocturnal, yield_min_total, yield_total
Bool fields read as 1/0 (e.g. where { field: "is_predator", op: "=", value: 1 }). Example: { kind: "food", by: "calories", order: "desc", limit: 3 } → the 3 highest-calorie foods. Scoped example: { kind: "food", by: "shelf_life", order: "asc", category: "seed" } → the seeds that spoil fastest. Optional character/server PROFILE (skill_level/skills, talents, modules/module, server) re-ranks the profile-sensitive metrics — recipe labor/craft_minutes; tool damage/calories_burn/durability_burn; item harvest_yield/power_watts; species yield_total/yield_min_total (craft_minutes also honors server craftTime). All other fields are static facts and ignore the profile (the result carries a note). No profile = base ranking.
