How HumDay uses it
- You describe the outcome. Not this operation by name — what you want to happen. HumDay works out which operations it needs.
- The contract names it. Before anything is built, you see exactly which BC Data Catalogue operations the program may use, and this is one of them.
- You approve access. Read-only access is still yours to grant, and still limited to what the contract needs.

Questions
- Can HumDay get details of a specific organization in BC Data Catalogue?
- Yes. This operation is published in BC Data Catalogue's own API description, so HumDay can use it without a hand-built connector — once you have approved it for your automation.

- Do I need to write code?
