Read-onlyDescription
Targeted inspection of a single CPT record — full content, title, status, and metadata — is what this tool delivers. Once you've found the item ID from the list tool, Easy MCP AI fetches the complete record from any REST-API-enabled custom post type and surfaces it in your AI conversation. It's the read-before-write step your AI client uses to review a portfolio entry, event, or product before proposing changes.
