Get one household cookbook by ID.
AI agents call get_cookbook 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 cookbook data by identifier without any side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The action is idempotent and poses minimal risk if called by an AI agent, as it only returns existing data. Classification as Read with low severity is appropriate.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cookbook' with description 'Get one household cookbook by ID' indicates a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language confirms this is a query-only action.
