Search for a Wikidata property ID by its query.
AI agents call search_property to retrieve information from Wikidata MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries Wikidata to find property IDs matching a search term. It retrieves and returns information without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or creating financial obligations. The operation is read-only and returns metadata about available properties. The low severity reflects that misuse would only result in retrieving unwanted information, not harm to systems or data.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search_property' and description states it 'Search for a Wikidata property ID by its query' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_property gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Wikidata MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for search_property:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"search_property": {}
}
}search_property is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
