**WikipediaTools** enable an Agent to search Wikipedia and add its contents to the knowledge base.

## Prerequisites

```shell theme={null}
uv pip install -U wikipedia openai
```

## Example

The following agent will search Wikipedia for "ai" and print the response.

```python cookbook/91_tools/wikipedia_tools.py theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.wikipedia import WikipediaTools

agent = Agent(tools=[WikipediaTools()])
agent.print_response("Search wikipedia for 'ai'")
```

## Toolkit Params

| Name           | Type                  | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                    |
| -------------- | --------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `knowledge`    | `Optional[Knowledge]` | `None`  | Knowledge base to store Wikipedia content in. When provided, the toolkit registers `search_wikipedia_and_update_knowledge_base` instead of `search_wikipedia`. |
| `auto_suggest` | `bool`                | `True`  | Allow Wikipedia to auto-suggest a matching article title for the query.                                                                                        |
| `all`          | `bool`                | `False` | Currently has no effect. Tool registration depends only on `knowledge`.                                                                                        |

## Toolkit Functions
