Maybe they could've put a call into the Tok'ra, but I guess they figured the snake!heads and slimy!starfish were too different. I think it harkens back to the whole "on-your-own" theme that SGA set up in the beginning.
I think introducing them, even in a minor role, would not have added to the story in this instance. It was a character-driven McKay piece which needed dialogue between him, his teammates and his sister. The wraith were added only to show the lengths to which his team was willing to go on a wild goose chase. Tok'ra would have taken away from that, IMO.
Still, it's an interesting idea, I hadn't thought of their extraction procedure.Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth or easy...
... or that any man can measure the tides and hurricanes he will
encounter on the strange journey.
Spoiler:
2 Cor. 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Whereas contacting the Tok'ra would involve them;

As far as the Tollans? Well, that's another unanswered story.

Of course, the same could be said of many things, but still, I miss them.
