# get_event

One event in full, including source articles and their annotated statements.

Canonical: https://chikaraintel.com/docs/mcp/tools/get_event

Group: Events. Read only.

## When to use

Use it on the handful of events that matter after a search. It returns what search_events leaves out: the full compensation block on a move, deal terms and participants on a deal, and the verbatim statements on each source article.

Call `search_events` first.

## Parameters

- `reference` (uuid, body, required) The event reference UUID, as returned by search_events.

## Example

Prompt: "Open the Halberd CFO appointment and show me what the chair said."
