WHAT IT DOES

What web_search_multilang does on Gapup Mcp

AI agents call web_search_multilang to retrieve information from Gapup Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`lang`	string	—	2-letter language code. If omitted, auto-detected from query characters and lexical markers.
`async`	boolean	—	If true, returns a job_id immediately (<200ms) instead of waiting for the result. Poll the result with job_result(job_id). Use for slow tools to avoid client ti
`query`	string	Yes	Search query in any language
`country`	string	—	ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code for geographic bias (e.g. FR, DE, JP, BR). Optional.
`max_results`	integer	—	Maximum number of results to return (default 10).

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why web_search_multilang is rated Low

This is a query and retrieval tool. It gathers publicly available information from search engines and knowledge bases without modifying data or executing code. While it supports multiple languages and sources, the core function remains passive information retrieval. The mention of 'agent-payable' and financial/compliance tools elsewhere on the server does not affect this individual tool's classification.

From the tool's definition Tool performs multi-language web search aggregation across multiple sources (Mojeek, Wikipedia, DDG, HN) and returns ranked results. Key verbs: 'search', 'aggregates results', 'returns deduplicated results'.
