It's more than that.  I can get labels just fine with &props=labels

Ideally there were be a Number 3.... a reconcile service, or an API that can be USED as a reconcile service.

Given a search string of "Paris", let's say...

1. Return some disambiguating properties and their labels and values.  For reconciling purposes, you don't want to deal with codes like P12345 but instead a human understandable description of the property.

  a. Allow the output of the information returned to be expanded or reduced by some parameter values that I mentioned as OUTPUT.

  b. Allow the use of a (disambiguator) parameter to output only the disambiguating properties. (disambiguating properties are those that are most important when comparing A = B and given a type).  In Freebase API, we had the option of this as shown here: http://freebase-search.freebaseapps.com/?query=Texas&output=(disambiguator)&limit=100&scoring=entity&lang=en

The current "disambiguator" with Wikidata is actually the "descriptions".  Wikidata does not flag or mark properties like P856 (official site) as a "disambiguating property", an important property.  Freebase does however.  It would be nice for Wikidata to begin work on having a disambiguating property flag (boolean Y/N) like Freebase does.

The closest starting point for a Reconcile API with the current API structure that I can see is hacking a bit on this one:

Btw, that closest starting point, only outputs 1 entity for "Paris" in the enwiki... where's Paris, Texas ?
