Get tool

GET/api/v2/tools/{toolId}

Get a built-in tool’s parameters and outputs. An exact visible ID is retained; an unversioned name resolves to the newest visible family version. The returned id identifies that tool. Hidden or missing tools return 404. Requires workspace read access.

OAuth scope: api:read.

Authentication

Send a personal or workspace API key in X-API-Key. See key types and access; operations that reject workspace keys say so in their description.

Send X-API-Key in the request header.

Alternatively

Send a Sim OAuth access token in Authorization: Bearer. See OAuth authentication and scopes.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Required scopes: api:read
