Tool to retrieve details of a specific catalog in Unity Catalog. Use when you need to get information about a catalog including its metadata, owner, properties, and configuration. Requires metastore admin privileges, catalog ownership, or USE_CATALOG privilege.
Why this helps
Catalog reviews can be delayed when reminders and the information needed for the review are split across tools.
- Check a designated Ably channel on a recurring schedule for a review signal.
- Retrieve details for the specifically named catalog.
- Keep the review reminder and retrieved information together in the run report.

Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow change catalog configuration?
No. It retrieves catalog details for review; it does not modify the catalog.
What if the signal does not name a catalog?
The automation should report that it cannot identify a catalog and request the missing information rather than selecting one.
