Inspect an Entity

The single most useful query for exploring the graph: read everything about one entity by ID — its name, types, values, and relations. Use this whenever you've found an ID and want to see what's actually attached to it.

Query

query InspectEntity($id: UUID!) {
  entity(id: $id) {
    id
    name
    description
    types { id name }
    values(first: 50) {
      totalCount
      nodes {
        propertyId
        propertyEntity { name }
        text
        integer
        float
        boolean
        date
        datetime
      }
    }
    relations(first: 50) {
      totalCount
      nodes {
        id
        typeEntity { name }
        toEntity { id name }
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

• Values are a polymorphic union of typed scalars. Each Value node has fields for every scalar type (text, integer, float, boolean, date, datetime, etc.) — only the one matching the property's dataType is non-null. Always select all the types you might need; ignore the rest.
• Relations target other entities, not values. To see "Stable Diffusion → Generative AI" as a relation, look in relations.nodes, not values.nodes.
• toEntity { name } can be null — that means the target entity exists but has no Name property attached (orphan shells, often blocks). The relation still resolves; it just has no human label.
• first: 50 is a soft cap, not a hard limit. If totalCount > 50, paginate with first + after.
