space

Genie space metadata helpers.

Fetches a Genie space’s definition (including the opt-in serialized_space blob) and extracts the curated starter questions an author configured on the space. The typed SDK client.genie.getSpace only returns the directory-listing surface (title / description / warehouse_id); the sample questions live inside serialized_space, which the REST API returns only when include_serialized_space=true. We hit that endpoint through the workspace client’s raw apiClient since the typed request shape has no flag for it.

The serialized blob is also more privileged than the listing surface: the workspace API requires Can Edit on the space to return it, while Can Run is enough for title / description. A caller that only holds Can Run - an app service principal granted just enough to ask questions is the common case

  • would otherwise lose the whole space lookup to a PERMISSION_DENIED it cannot act on, so the fetch degrades to the unserialized request instead of failing (see getGenieSpace).
