## Tools (2)

- `scythian_get_descendants`: Fetch the full descendants payload — etymology, glosses and the reflex
tree (Sarmatian→Alanic→Ossetian, Saka→Khotanese) — for a lemma identified
by a search result's descendant handle (entry_id + word_class). Use this
only when a search ran without inline payloads or left a match
un-expanded — a default search already returns each match's payload
inline. Returns Markdown plus the payload as structuredContent with the
shape {"result": <payload>} per the declared outputSchema — switch on
result.category ('descendants' | 'not_found') before reading the body.
Content from en.wiktionary.org (CC BY-SA 4.0).

- `scythian_search`: Look a Proto-Scythian lemma up on Wiktionary and return its senses plus
its full descendants payload — the reconstructed etymology and the reflex
tree down to Ossetian and Khotanese, attested scholarship, not invention.
Plain ASCII spellings are folded to the reconstruction's diacritics and
the result notes the resolution. With search_language='eng' the query is
an English word instead: the result lists the lemmas whose glosses match
it (the translations block) plus their expanded entries. Returns Markdown
plus the same result as structuredContent matching the declared
outputSchema.

Results are cached server-side; first-time queries reach the live
upstream politely and calls are rate limited — on a rate-limit error,
wait a few seconds and retry. Content is from en.wiktionary.org
