get_ida_function_doc
AI agents call get_ida_function_doc to retrieve information from IDA-doc-hint-mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries documentation about IDA functions without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. The context of a documentation reader server with sibling tools like 'idapython_functions_list' suggests information retrieval. Despite the empty description, the naming pattern and server purpose clearly indicate a Read operation with low security risk.
