get_block
Retrieve a specific block from a Logseq graph by its ID, including hierarchical details like parent block, indentation level, and adjacent blocks for structured data access.
Instructions
Gets a specific block from the Logseq graph by its ID.
The returned block contains hierarchical structure information:
- parent: The parent block's ID
- level: The indentation level
- left: The block to the left
Args:
block_id: The ID of the block to retrieve.
Returns:
Information about the requested block, or None if not found.Input Schema
