Get a specific order by ID
AI agents call get_order to retrieve information from WooCommerce 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 order information from the WooCommerce store. It performs a query operation that returns data without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The read-only nature and limited blast radius (accessing existing order data) justify a 'Read' category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_order' and description 'Get a specific order by ID' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.
