Get a text message by ID
AI agents call getTextMessage to retrieve information from Follow Up Boss 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 an existing text message record by its identifier without modifying, creating, or deleting any data. It has no side effects and presents minimal risk. Misuse would only expose existing message data that the agent likely already has permission to access within the CRM context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'getTextMessage' with description 'Get a text message by ID' indicates a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and the absence of any modification, creation, or deletion language confirm this is a read-only query.
