Behavior

Behavior Modes

Mode	Trigger	Processing Path	Response Shape
Full mode	just_schema not provided or falsy	Applies access filter, enriches each dashboard with widget/app/owner/editability data.	Raw array of enriched dashboard objects
Schema-only mode	just_schema truthy	Applies access filter and returns minimal dashboard fields.	Raw array of minimal dashboard objects

Impact on Other Data

• Read-only endpoint; no data writes.

Limitations

• just_schema is evaluated by truthiness; values like 1 also activate schema-only mode.
• On many internal errors, handler returns an empty array instead of structured error details.
