Pipeworx wikipedia

Search, summarize, and explore the structure of English Wikipedia articles with full-text search, section info, and random article retrieval.

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only wrapper for a third‑party Wikipedia gateway and its requirements and instructions are consistent with that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description promise full-text search, summaries, sections, and random articles; the SKILL.md documents exactly those capabilities and provides an example calling a Pipeworx Wikipedia gateway. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are requested.

Instruction Scope

Instructions direct network calls to https://gateway.pipeworx.io/wikipedia/mcp using JSON-RPC. This is coherent with a remote Wikipedia proxy, but it means requests (including any query text) will be sent to a third‑party service rather than directly to api.wikimedia.org. The SKILL.md does not instruct reading local files or other system state.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are present (instruction-only), so nothing is written to disk or installed. Lowest-risk install profile.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials and the instructions do not reference any local secrets. The lack of requested credentials is proportionate to the described functionality.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request persistent system privileges or modifications to other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default but not otherwise elevated by this skill.

Assessment

This skill appears to be a simple wrapper that forwards queries to a Pipeworx Wikipedia gateway. Before installing, consider: (1) privacy — any queries you send will go to gateway.pipeworx.io (avoid sending sensitive data); (2) trust — verify Pipeworx's reputation/terms if you need confidentiality or compliance; (3) availability and rate limits — a third‑party gateway may impose limits; (4) prefer calling Wikimedia APIs directly if you require end-to-end control. No local credentials or installs are required by this skill.

Search, summarize, and explore the structure of English Wikipedia articles.

Capabilities

search_wikipedia -- Full-text search across Wikipedia. Returns titles, text snippets, page IDs, and word counts. Useful for finding the right article before pulling its content.

get_article_summary -- The introductory extract for an article by title. Also returns the description, thumbnail URL, and desktop/mobile content links. This is the fastest way to get a concise answer from Wikipedia.

get_article_sections -- The table of contents for an article. Returns each section heading with its level, number, and anchor. Helpful for understanding the structure of long articles.

get_random_articles -- Fetch 1-10 random Wikipedia articles with their extracts. Good for serendipitous discovery or testing.

Example: summarize an article

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/wikipedia/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_article_summary","arguments":{"title":"Turing machine"}}}'
