Get detailed information about a specific icon by its ID. Returns icon metadata, creator info, tags, and download URLs.
AI agents call get_icon to retrieve information from Noun Project 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 and queries icon data from The Noun Project API without side effects. It fits the Read category definition: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects (search, list, get, fetch).' The severity is low because misuse would only expose publicly available icon metadata with no risk of data loss, financial impact, or system compromise.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_icon' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific icon by its ID' indicate data retrieval.
