get_glossary_term
One glossary term by id, with its definition, other names, related terms, source and review status.
Return one term of a project's glossary: the word, its definition as HTML, the other names it goes by, the ids of the terms it leans on, where the definition comes from and where it stands in its review. Read it when a story, a requirement or a brief uses a word you need the project's exact meaning of, or to follow a related_term_ids entry from another term.
A term of a project the token may not see, or a term that is not approved read through a guest token, is unknown rather than forbidden.
Requires ability
The token behind the MCP session must hold it, or the call is refused with TOKEN_MISSING_ABILITY.
Runs the same actions as

Annotations
It reads and never changes anything.
