Get detailed information about a specific inbox item
AI agents call get_inbox_item_details to retrieve information from RAD Security without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries existing inbox item data from the RAD Security API. The 'get' prefix and passive retrieval nature confirm it is a Read operation. No data is modified, deleted, executed, or created. The blast radius is minimal as it only exposes existing security findings or reports already in the system. Low severity is appropriate for read-only access to security metadata.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_inbox_item_details' uses the 'get' verb and description states 'Get detailed information about a specific inbox item', indicating retrieval of existing data without modification or side effects.
