Get role ID by role name. Searches through all roles for the customer and returns the role ID if found.
AI agents call get_role_id_by_name to retrieve information from Monotype MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward data retrieval operation that queries existing roles and returns an identifier. It performs no creation, modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The blast radius if misused is minimal—returning a role ID does not grant access or trigger actions by itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_role_id_by_name' and description 'Searches through all roles for the customer and returns the role ID if found' indicate a lookup/query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.
