Get a payment gateway
AI agents call woo_payment_gateways_get to retrieve information from Woocommerce without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves configuration or details about a payment gateway. It queries data with no side effects, reversible changes, code execution, deletion, or financial transactions. The action is read-only. The low severity reflects that while payment gateway details may be somewhat sensitive (they configure how money flows), merely reading this data does not directly move funds, execute code, or modify systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get a payment gateway' — both indicate retrieval of existing data without modification.
