WHAT IT DOES

What statbel.catalog.datasource_detail does on Apibase

AI agents use statbel.catalog.datasource_detail to create or update resources in Apibase, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Apibase environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`datasource_id`	string	Yes	Datasource UUID from statbel.list_datasources (e.g. "e957ac31-44a2-4718-8469-10470d3c41d9"). An invalid or unpublished id returns an empty upstream response.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why statbel.catalog.datasource_detail is rated Medium
