Why this helps
A category ID in a request is not very useful if someone has to stop and search for its details manually.
- Turn a category ID into readable context.
- Respond to policy questions with fewer manual searches.
- Keep the lookup result alongside the request.

- 3Describe: retrieve basic DNSFilter information for the category ID in this request and summarize what is returned.
