It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and review the configuration or attributes of a particular policy within your system, such as auditing, compliance checks, or displaying policy details in a dashboard.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Get the full details of a security policy before applying changes.
  • Display policy information to end-users or administrators.
  • Integrate policy data into reports or monitoring tools.

Troubleshooting
