Get detailed planet info by its ID
AI agents call get_planet to retrieve information from SWAPI 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 planet information from the SWAPI database by ID lookup. It is a pure read operation that queries and returns data without side effects, aligning with the Read category. The blast radius is minimal since it only exposes public Star Wars reference data that cannot be altered or cause harm through misuse.
