Wikipedia

Available Tools

wikipedia_search(query): Search Wikipedia for articles matching a query.

• query (string, required): Search query

wikipedia_get_article(title, summary_only?): Get content of a Wikipedia article by exact title.

• title (string, required): Article title (case-sensitive, use exact title from search results)

Usage Guidelines

• Use wikipedia_search first to find the correct article title, then wikipedia_get_article for full content.

• Article titles are case-sensitive — use the exact title from search results.

• Use summary_only=true for quick factual lookups when full article content isn't needed.

• Wikipedia content is best for background information, definitions, and historical context.

Citation Format

When presenting information from Wikipedia, wrap every specific claim in <cite> tags:

<cite source="Wikipedia: ARTICLE_TITLE" url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARTICLE_TITLE">claim text</cite>

Rules:

• Cite factual claims, statistics, dates, and specific information from articles.

• The source attribute should include the article title (e.g., "Wikipedia: Quantum Computing" ).

• The url attribute should contain the Wikipedia article URL.

• Do NOT cite your own reasoning or general knowledge.

• Use the minimum number of citations necessary to support claims.
