# Get an item

> Returns a single item with its metadata layer flattened onto the object (`tags`, `tier`, `state`) and outbound edges hydrated inline, grouped by edge type. Extensions are NOT included — fetch them through the `/items/{id}/extensions` endpoints.

If the item exists but isn't visible to the caller (type permissions, source filter, cross-tenant), the response is `404 item_not_found`. The server doesn't leak existence.
