get icon detail by prefix and svg name
AI agents call get_icon_detail_by_prefix_and_name to retrieve information from PickAPIcon MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves icon information from a public icon database (Iconify API) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a simple lookup/fetch operation with no side effects. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only retrieve icon metadata, which is public information. Low severity because icon details are non-sensitive, read-only data.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'get icon detail' which retrieves SVG icon metadata by prefix and name parameters. The verb 'get' and the read-only nature of retrieving icon details from the Iconify API indicate no data modification, deletion, or external execution.
