Get a specific test plan by ID
AI agents call get_plan to retrieve information from TestRail 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 and retrieves an existing test plan from TestRail without altering, creating, or destroying any data. It is a read-only operation with minimal security risk; misuse would only expose information already stored in TestRail, not cause irreversible harm or financial impact.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_plan' and description states 'Get a specific test plan by ID' — a straightforward retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or side effects.
