Retrieves plugin details
AI agents call get_plugin to retrieve information from mcp-wordpress-instaWP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves and returns information about plugins without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation, making it a Read category tool with low severity since plugin metadata disclosure has minimal direct impact.
