What your agents can do in Wikipedia
Look things up on Wikipedia, no key needed: search articles, get an article's summary or its full text as plain text, find it in other languages, see its edit history and how many people read it, list the most read articles of a day, and the notable events of a calendar date. English by default; a connection can choose another language edition.

Look things up. Nothing changes.
Search articles
Full-text search of Wikipedia articles.
Suggest article titles
Autocompletes the start of an article title, like a search box: returns up to limit pages whose titles begin with the text, each with title, key and description.
Get an article summary
Returns a short summary of an article: its title, one-line description, the lead paragraph as plain text (extract), a thumbnail, coordinates for places, the Wikidata ID.
Read an article
Returns an article's full text as plain text (section headings kept as "== Heading ==" lines), or only its introduction with intro_only.
Find an article in other languages
Lists the same article in other language editions of Wikipedia: each entry has the language code (like de or ja), the language's name, and the article's title there.
Get an article's edit history
Lists an article's latest edits, newest first, 20 at a time: each with revision id, timestamp, the editor's user name, the edit summary (comment), size and the change in size (delta).
Get an article's page views
Returns how many times people read an article, per day or per month, between two dates (items[].timestamp like 2026100100 and items[].views), from Wikimedia's public pageview statistics.
Get the most read articles of a day
Returns the 1,000 most read articles on a past day, ranked, each with article (its title with underscores), views and rank.
Get what happened on this day
Returns notable events for a calendar day (any year) chosen by Wikipedia's editors (selected), or that day's observances and holidays (holidays).
Get a random article
Returns the summary of a random article: title, description, the lead paragraph as plain text (extract), a thumbnail and its web address.

This tool only reads, so nothing in it changes.
Read only
Every action here only reads, so an agent can look things up in Wikipedia but cannot change anything there.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Nothing to set up: it reads public data, so there is no account or key.
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Wikipedia data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can search articles, suggest article titles or get an article summary in Wikipedia, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Wikipedia and Slack: it can search articles in Wikipedia and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
- 03
Run it as a workflow step
Add "Search articles" to a workflow, and it runs in Wikipedia the same way every time, with or without an agent.
