[Licensing] Get license details by ID.
AI agents call licensing_get_license to retrieve information from CyPerf 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 license metadata by identifier, similar to a lookup or fetch operation. It performs no mutations, deletions, executions, or financial transactions. The read-only nature and low blast radius (returning configuration/status data only) justify the Read category with low severity.
