Get a single participant/team by their unique ID.
AI agents call get_participant to retrieve information from Odds-API 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 information about a single participant or team by ID. It queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. There are no side effects, financial transactions, or destructive actions. The minimal severity reflects that access to participant data carries negligible risk even if misused by an agent.
