Get a single incident by ID. Returns the full incident details
AI agents call get_incident to retrieve information from Grafana MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries incident data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation that fetches incident information. The low severity reflects that unauthorized access to incident details, while potentially informative about system status, does not enable direct harm through the tool itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_incident' and description states 'Get a single incident by ID. Returns the full incident details' - this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
