Read a full invoice JSON payload by id (read-only).
AI agents call get_invoice to retrieve information from Mad Invoice without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns invoice data without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any operations. The read-only constraint and query-like nature place it firmly in the Read category with low severity, as unauthorized access would expose financial data but not enable financial transactions or destructive actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_invoice' with description 'Read a full invoice JSON payload by id (read-only)'. The explicit '(read-only)' designation confirms this is a retrieval operation with no side effects.
