getMembershipPlan

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a single membership plan record by subscription ID. Optionally include plan configuration, display flags, or extra fields.

Instructions

Get a single membership plan - Fetch a single membership-plan record. Read-only.

Use when: fetching one plan's config. Same lean-by-default as listMembershipPlans.

Required: subscription_id.

Lean-by-default keep-list: the 10 core fields — subscription_id, subscription_name, subscription_type, profile_type, monthly_amount, yearly_amount, initial_amount, lead_price, searchable, data_settings. Opt in to restore:

  • include_plan_config=1 - config bundle (limits, sidebars, forms, email templates, upgrade chain, payment defaults).

  • include_plan_display_flags=1 - show_* profile-visibility toggles.

  • include_extras=1 - returns the full BD plan row, untouched.

EAV-routed fields not merged: custom_checkout_url (and any future EAV-routed plan fields) are stored in users_meta and NOT returned by this endpoint even with include_plan_config=1. Read via listUserMeta database=subscription_types database_id=<subscription_id> to fetch them.

See also: listMembershipPlans (enumerate).

Returns: { status: "success", message: [{...record}] }.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
subscription_idYes
include_plan_configNoOpt in to restore plan config fields (limits, sidebars, forms, email templates, upgrade chain, display/payment settings). Default stripped.
include_plan_display_flagsNoOpt in to restore profile-visibility toggles (`show_about`, `show_experience`, `show_phone`, `seal_link`, `website_link`, `social_link`, etc.). Default stripped.
include_extrasNoOpt in to return ALL remaining fields on this resource that are not in the lean-by-default keep-list and not gated by another `include_*` flag. Lean default returns only the core identity, routing, and load-bearing fields. `include_extras=1` restores everything else (geo, all hero_*, layout/sidebar/menu config, all display toggles, admin metadata, etc.). Resource-specific — see each tool's description for what the extras bundle contains.
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description adds detail beyond annotations: explains the lean-by-default keep-list, each include_* opt-in flag's effect, and a specific caveat about EAV-routed fields not being merged. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, and the description reinforces these without contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is well-structured: a one-line summary, then 'Use when', required parameter, lean-by-default list, opt-in flags, an important caveat, see also, and return format. Every sentence adds necessary context, and it is front-loaded with purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Despite having no output schema, the description specifies the return format. It addresses all four parameters, provides behavioral details (lean-by-default, opt-in flags), and notes a limitation with a workaround. Given the tool's complexity, this is fully complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

All four parameters in the input schema are described in the description beyond what the schema provides. It explains that `subscription_id` is required, and each include_* parameter's specific restoration bundle (e.g., `include_plan_config` restores config bundle). Schema coverage is high, but the description adds value.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it fetches a single membership plan and is read-only. It distinguishes from the sibling tool `listMembershipPlans` (enumerate) by specifying that this tool retrieves one plan's config.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly tells when to use this tool ('fetching one plan's config'), notes that its lean-by-default behavior is the same as `listMembershipPlans`, and provides a 'See also' pointer to the alternative for enumeration. No ambiguity.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
