wolfram-language

A development guide for Wolfram Language, the programming language used by Wolfram tools. It covers running code, searching documentation, inspecting code, finding symbol definitions, and running tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop or analyze Wolfram Language files, evaluate calculations, inspect built-in functions, search documentation, and run tests.
Why use it?
It helps developers build and check Wolfram programs without having to look up each language feature or testing step separately.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wolfram-language scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Wolfram Language

A full Wolfram Language development environment with code evaluation, documentation search, symbol inspection, static analysis, and test execution.

Prerequisites

These scripts require wolframscript. If it is not installed or not on your PATH, read references/GetWolframEngine.md (relative to this skill directory) for installation instructions.

Usage

With MCP Server (preferred)

If you have Wolfram Language MCP tools available in your tool list (e.g., mcp__WolframLanguage__WolframLanguageEvaluator), use those directly. They provide richer integration, stateful evaluation, and better performance than the bundled scripts.

For a richer experience, consider setting up the Wolfram MCP server. See references/SetUpWolframMCPServer.md (relative to this skill directory) for instructions.

With Bundled Scripts

If no MCP tools are available, use the bundled scripts in the scripts/ directory (relative to this skill directory). Run them with:

wolframscript -f scripts/<ScriptName>.wls <arguments>

Pass --usage to any script to see its argument documentation:

wolframscript -f scripts/<ScriptName>.wls --usage

For detailed usage, arguments, and invocation syntax for each script, see references/Scripts.md (relative to this skill directory).

Reminder: These scripts are only relevant when you do not have the equivalent MCP tool available.

Available Tools

Script When to use
WolframLanguageContext Agentic search for documentation and other Wolfram Language resources
WolframLanguageEvaluator Evaluate Wolfram Language code and return results
SymbolDefinition Inspect how symbols are defined
TestReport Run .wlt test files and directories to verify correctness
CodeInspector Check Wolfram Language code or files for issues and style problems

WolframLanguageContext

If your MCP server provides a WolframContext tool instead of WolframLanguageContext, you can use that instead. It's effectively equivalent, except it may include additional context from Wolfram Alpha.

Files

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

wolfram-language is a skill published in the GitHub repository WolframResearch/AgentTools (82 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,515 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
