`get_discovery_run`

Read an existing saved or imported run, including when new discovery admission is disabled: status, query coverage and separate discovery usage. This read never purchases a provider page.

<Note>Hosted MCP registration verified. These schemas describe the development contract; confirm supported inputs with tools/list. Generic CLI/HTTP calls require a matching development server. Configure LINKTRAIL\_API\_URL; production does not expose these command routes.</Note>

| Access           | Behavior         |
| ---------------- | ---------------- |
| `discovery:read` | Reads saved data |

Reading saved data does not start a verification job. Mutations can change saved records or access; the effects below apply.

## Example request

Connect through [MCP](/guides/connect-mcp), [CLI](/guides/connect-cli), or [HTTP](/guides/connect-http). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

<CodeGroup>
  ```json MCP theme={null}
  {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_discovery_run",
      "arguments": {
        "runId": "run_example"
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```bash CLI theme={null}
  linktrail call get_discovery_run --args '{"runId":"run_example"}'
  ```

  ```bash HTTP theme={null}
  curl "$LINKTRAIL_API_URL/v1/commands/get_discovery_run" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKTRAIL_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{"runId":"run_example"}'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Returned result

Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in `structuredContent` and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

## Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

| Field   | Type   | Presence | Meaning and constraints                                                                      |
| ------- | ------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `runId` | string | Required | Identifier of the run returned by its create or list operation. minLength: 1; maxLength: 200 |

### Validation and omitted values

Reading a saved/imported run does not require new provider admission and never purchases another page.

## Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. [Common schema conventions](/reference/schemas) explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

## Errors and retries

The command is annotated idempotent. Reuse an accepted idempotency key when the input provides one; changing the payload under a reused key can conflict.

See [error recovery](/reference/errors) for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.

## HTTP resource routes

These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See [HTTP route details](/reference/http/routes).

| Method and route                 | Success | Details                                          |
| -------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `GET /v1/discovery/runs/{runId}` | 200     | Remaining read arguments go in query parameters. |
