Retrieve detailed information for a specific news article
AI agents call get_news_detail to retrieve information from N Lobby 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 news article information from the school portal without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The action is read-only and returns data to the user, fitting the 'Read' category. Severity is low as misuse would only expose already-public or student-accessible announcements with minimal risk.

"get_news_detail": {}
}
