Get one admin-visible group by ID.
AI agents call get_admin_group 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 admin group information by ID. It performs no modification, deletion, execution, or financial operations. The 'admin-visible' qualifier indicates access control, but the action itself is a simple data retrieval with no side effects. Severity is low because reading group metadata poses minimal risk compared to other operations in the Mealie system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_admin_about' and description 'Get one admin-visible group by ID' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'get' and the absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language confirm this is a read-only query.
