Search Entities

Find entities by name with fuzzy matching when you know (or partially know) an entity’s name. Optionally filter by entity type.

Returns an array of matching entities with IDs you can pass to retrieve_entity.

Examples:

{"name": "OpenAI"}

{"name": "Elon Musk", "entity_types": ["Person"]}

{"name": "Berlin", "entity_types": ["GPE", "Location"], "limit": 5}

Use this when: You know the name and want the entity ID or basic info. Use retrieve_entity with the returned ID for full details. Use knowledge_query for attribute-based filtering instead.
