Only it knows which data it needs - actively "sending" data to it requires knowledge of which information is needed.
While seemingly trivial in the beginning this will, as the application grows, become a burden in maintenance - and potentially in performance if data data that has become obsolete is sent "just to be sure".
An application is something that provides a public-facing, standalone functionality. This doesn't seem to be the case.
The only difference here would be moving some business logic to the MediaWiki extension instead than inside the service.
The burden in maintenance is there if we keep building circular dependency loops between services, it will only be moved onto the people running the service in production instead than on deployment coordination.
