[Notifications] Get notification details by ID.
AI agents call notifications_get 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 existing notification data by ID without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a pure read operation with minimal blast radius—the only risk would be exposure of notification content to an unauthorized agent, which is relatively low impact.
