smartsuite_describe_automation_step
Retrieve detailed schema for an automation step's trigger or action, including labels, inputs with options, and context outputs. Understand step configuration without editing.
Instructions
Resolve the full schema of one automation step — its trigger (default) or a chosen action — by calling the automation engine's dynamic description. For a trigger: returns label, inputs (with dropdown options), context outputs, the fields the trigger exposes to downstream actions, and the fields usable in conditions. For an action: returns label, integration, and inputs (with options). Use smartsuite_describe_automation first to see the action list; select an action with actionIndex or actionInstanceId. This view is for UNDERSTANDING a step (labels, types, option values) and is slimmed — do NOT feed it back into update_automation to edit an action; it omits full input encodings (e.g. an AI action's model), and saving a rebuild from it can strip those settings.
