Get a workout by its ID
AI agents call getWorkoutById to retrieve information from Hevy 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 a single workout record by identifier. It performs a read-only query against the Hevy fitness API with no side effects, no data modification, and no code execution. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius even if an AI agent calls it with any valid ID — it only returns existing data.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'getWorkoutById' and description states 'Get a workout by its ID' — this is a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability.
