Get detailed information about a specific server.
AI agents call hetzner_get_server to retrieve information from Hetzner 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 information about an existing server resource. It performs a read-only operation with no capability to modify, delete, or execute actions on infrastructure. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only access information about servers they can query, not modify or destroy them.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'hetzner_get_server' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific server' indicate retrieval of server metadata without modification or side effects.
