`lawmatics_get-user` · Lawmatics MCP tool · Users

Fetch a single user from Lawmatics by ID, including their name, email, role, sign-in count, profile picture URL, and a `relationships` envelope of {id,type} pointers to related records (current firm, inviting user, and all firms the user belongs to).
