Get a kitchen tool by ID.
AI agents call mealie_tools_get to retrieve information from Mealie 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 a single kitchen tool record by its identifier. It performs a read-only query against the Mealie database with no ability to create, modify, delete, or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only view existing tool metadata, which does not expose sensitive financial information or enable destructive actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'mealie_tools_get' and description 'Get a kitchen tool by ID' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
