Get Project Details
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific project. use when you have a project id and need its metadata (name, created at, updated at).
Why this helps
Checking project metadata can interrupt a founder's flow when it means leaving the current conversation.

- Keep operational lookups private when useful.
- Reduce interruptions caused by switching tools.
