# particle_entity_get

> One knowledge-graph entity's profile — name, kind, description, and Wikipedia link.

One knowledge-graph entity's profile: name, kind (`person` / `company` / `other`), type, description, and Wikipedia link. Use it to confirm what a slug from [`particle_entity_resolve`](/mcp/tools/people/entity-resolve) actually refers to — especially for the long tail that isn't a person or company (places, organizations, events, products, concepts).

When the entity is a linked person or company the response carries the `person_slug` / `company_slug` — prefer [`particle_person_get`](/mcp/tools/people/person-get) / [`particle_company_get`](/mcp/tools/companies/company-get) for those, which return the full profiles. Entity slugs feed [`particle_podcast_find_mentions`](/mcp/tools/podcasts/podcast-find-mentions), [`particle_podcast_get_episode_timeseries`](/mcp/tools/podcasts/podcast-get-episode-timeseries), and the [alert tools](/mcp/tools/alerts/alert-create).

## Inputs

| Field         | Type   | Required | Default | Description                                                                                                                                             |
| ------------- | ------ | -------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `entity_slug` | string | yes      | —       | Knowledge-graph entity slug or encoded ID from `particle_entity_resolve`, episode entity listings, or mention payloads (e.g. `"germany"`, `"bitcoin"`). |

## Output

A markdown document with the entity name as an H2 and `**Slug:**`, `**Kind:**`, and `**Type:**` rows, followed by the description paragraph and a `**Wikipedia:**` link when known. For linked people/companies a closing line names the profile tool to call next.

Sample:

```markdown theme={"dark"}
## Germany

**Slug:** germany
**Kind:** other
**Type:** place

Germany is a country in Central Europe...

**Wikipedia:** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany
```

## Example

```text theme={"dark"}
Agent calls: particle_entity_get {
  "entity_slug": "bitcoin"
}
```
