# Wikidata entity search

Find Wikidata items (companies, people, places, products, concepts), properties or lexemes by label or alias in a given language: QID, label, description. Needs search.

Find Wikidata items (companies, people, places, products, concepts), properties or lexemes by label or alias in a given language: QID, label, description, matched text and concept URI. Use it to resolve a name to a QID before reading the entity or writing a SPARQL query; several items can share a label, so check the description. search-continue gives the next offset.

```

## Published example

This is the provider tool’s published example. Replace example values with the user’s requested inputs, respecting the schema; do not execute an example merely to test a connection.


```json
{
  "tool_id": "wikidata/entity-search",
  "input": {
    "search": "Mistral AI",
    "limit": 3
  }
}
```

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
