# `get_person`

Reads one exact person in your own private Rolodex, with effective identity, email addresses, LinkedIn details, six profile sections, and a version for editing. Resolve an ambiguous name with `find_people` first. Reading changes nothing.

Annotations: `readOnlyHint: true` · `destructiveHint: false` · `idempotentHint: true` · `openWorldHint: false`

## Inputs

| Input | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `personId` | yes | Exact owned-person UUID. |

## Returns

`{ state: { person, version } }`. `person` contains `personId`, `contactAuthoredName`, `ownerAuthoredName`, `emails`, `linkedIn` (nullable URL, company, and position), and `profile`. The profile contains `summaries` plus claim arrays for `general`, `areasOfDepth`, `currentWork`, `currentNeeds`, and `relationshipContext`. These are your effective sections after private corrections, including member-added people without an email address.

The opaque 64-character `version` is private to this member and person. Pass it unchanged as `expectedVersion` for `save_person`. No raw mailbox evidence, inferred readings, private notes, or another member's context is returned. Use `get_person_notes` for note history. Missing and inaccessible people both return `unavailable`.

## Example

```json get_person
{
  "personId": "00000000-0000-4000-a000-000000000005"
}
```

Result (synthetic data):

```json result:get_person
{
  "state": {
    "person": {
      "personId": "00000000-0000-4000-a000-000000000005",
      "contactAuthoredName": "Synthetic Pat",

        ],
        "general": [],

        "currentWork": [

        ],
        "currentNeeds": [],
        "relationshipContext": [
          "You worked together"
        ]
      },
      "linkedIn": {
