Get information about a document
AI agents call get_document_info to retrieve information from ContextForge MCP Gateway without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries document metadata/information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a passive read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent (worst case: disclosure of information the agent is already authorized to access).
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_document_info' and description states 'Get information about a document' — unambiguous retrieval operation with no mutation or side effects.
