Rate limit tier: general, 600 requests/min. See Rate limits. Reads one document’s or navigation page’s text from a workflow’s knowledge corpus. Find path first with List or Search. For an answer with citations instead of raw text, use Ask.

Content cap

content is capped; truncated is true when the document’s text was cut off at the cap. There is no pagination for a single document’s content — a long document returns its opening text with truncated: true. path is 1 to 1024 characters.

Requires a knowledge base

Same requirement as ask: the workflow needs a knowledge node, or this returns 409 KNOWLEDGE_NOT_ENABLED. 409 KNOWLEDGE_NOT_READY means no usable snapshot has ever been published. Unlike ask, reading is never billed, so 402 cannot occur here.

Errors

Status	`error_code`	Meaning
`400`	`VALIDATION_ERROR`	`path` was empty or over 1024 characters.
`404`	`NOT_FOUND`	Unknown workflow, one belonging to another organization, or `path` names no document or navigation page in this corpus.
`409`	`KNOWLEDGE_NOT_ENABLED`	The workflow has no Knowledge node. Do not retry: add the node first.
`409`	`KNOWLEDGE_NOT_READY`	No knowledge snapshot has ever been published for this workflow. Wait if indexing is in progress.
`504`	`GATEWAY_TIMEOUT`	The read exceeded the agent’s own time ceiling. Retry.
