Yes - this is available - under api/tools/<tool_id> if you pass the
query parameter io_details=True.

(e.g. https://usegalaxy.org/api/tools/cat1?io_details=True)

I would recommend using bioblend if possible, in this case the
operation is available as the ``show_tool`` method which also exposes
the io_details parameter.
