Get the full transcript for a specific meeting recording.
AI agents call get_transcript to retrieve information from Fathom Video MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a data retrieval operation on meeting transcripts. It accesses existing meeting data (full transcript with speaker attribution and timestamps as described in the server overview) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The user must already have a specific meeting ID to retrieve its transcript, limiting unintended blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves "the full transcript for a specific meeting recording" - a read-only operation that queries and returns existing data without modification or side effects.
