# get_person

One person in full: work history, emails, ownership stakes and statements.

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

Group: People. Read only.

## When to use

Use it once you have a person's reference. It makes up to three API calls and combines them, so one tool call answers who someone is, where they've worked and what's been said about them.

Call `search_people` first.

## Parameters

- `reference` (uuid, body, required) The person's reference UUID.

## Example

Prompt: "What has been said about Elena Marchetti since she joined Halberd?"
