Get information about a specific Bitcoin Ordinals inscription by its ID. Use this to retrieve metadata about NFT-like inscriptions on Bitcoin, including content type and ownership details.
AI agents call ordinals_inscription_get to retrieve information from Satstream MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries blockchain data (ordinals inscription metadata) without side effects. It retrieves public, immutable Bitcoin blockchain information. The low severity reflects minimal risk even if queried maliciously—the result is already public data. Confidence is high due to explicit read semantics and context (blockchain data retrieval from a query-focused MCP server).
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get information about a specific Bitcoin Ordinals inscription' and 'retrieve metadata about NFT-like inscriptions'. The verb 'get' and 'retrieve' indicate read-only data access.
