Use to get full details for a specific showing by ID.
AI agents call get_showing to retrieve information from Rentalot 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 data about a showing (a property viewing appointment) by its identifier. It performs a query operation that returns information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could retrieve unauthorized showing details but cannot modify listings, delete data, or trigger external operations. This is a straightforward read operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_showing' with description 'get full details for a specific showing by ID' indicates a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
