Get a task document

The tasks.documents.get operation: GET /api/v1/tasks/{id}/documents/{file} in the REST API and the tasks_documents_get tool in the MCP server.

GET/api/v1/tasks/{id}/documents/{file}

Returns a document of a task (a receipt uploaded with tasks.documents.upload, or another document of its filing period or registration): its file name, type, size and SHA-256. In the console, documents open from the task's page; the file itself is served only after this check, and only when its bytes still match the SHA-256.
