The SQL behind it is not returned. ## Access An MCP token or a Parable token can call this operation. See [Authentication](/getting-started/authentication.md) for the kinds of token. Your roles must grant one of `tenant.parables.view`, `tenant.parables.manage`. ## Errors * `PA-AU-040`: The Plot contract or definition is not conforming. Refresh the selected definition and correct the Plot contract. * `PA-AU-001`: The Parable or Plot manifest was not found. Check the rootRefId and selected ref or Version. * `PA-AU-019`: The caller cannot inspect this Plot. Use a Workspace identity with Parable access and the required RACI role. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /api/parable/authoring/primaries/{rootRefId}/plots/data/manifest openapi: 3.0.3 info: description: >- Use the Workspace API to work with artifacts, connectors, Parables, and account resources. title: Workspace API version: v2026.10.22.1 servers: [] security: [] paths: /api/parable/authoring/primaries/{rootRefId}/plots/data/manifest: get: tags: - Parable authoring summary: List what a Plot will return description: >- Lists the outputs a Plot produces and the columns each one is planned to have.
