wol_search
AI agents call wol_search to retrieve information from WOL MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries data from the Watchtower Online Library without modifying or deleting anything. The server's explicit 'read-only' designation and the presence of only retrieval-focused sibling tools confirm it is a Read category tool with low severity and blast radius.
From the tool's definition Server is described as 'read-only access' with 'search and browse' capabilities. Tool name 'wol_search' indicates a search function. Sibling tools include 'wol_browse_publications', 'wol_get_document', 'wol_get_video_subtitles' — all read operations.
