🟢search(query)
Look up a person, place, thing, event, or concept in Edgepedia, an encyclopedia of over 300k articles and constantly growing. Pass the subject's name ("Mount Fuji", "photosynthesis"), not a question: it matches titles, other names, and misspellings, not full text. Returns up to 10 results, each with opening sentences; pass a result's id to `fetch` for the article.

{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"query": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The name of a subject, or words from an article title."

}🟢fetch(id, citations)
Get one Edgepedia article in full, as Markdown with its citations, by the id of a `search` result. Pass `citations: false` for a text about a quarter shorter: [n] markers in place of the inline source links, the reference list kept. Link the article when you use it; show its `credit` line with any text you quote.
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"id": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The id of a search result (the last part of the article's address, such as \"mount-fuji\")."
},
"citations": {
"type": "boolean",
"description": "Default true. false = [n] markers instead of inline source links; the numbered reference list stays."
}
},
"required": [
"id"
