Policy, approvals and errors

SDK function policy ID: google.drive_apps_get. Catalog operation: drive.apps.get. Rules can name either ID; function rules distinguish managed calls and conservatively cover raw calls sharing the route. Existing grant permissions and policy rules apply. wait() returns an immediate result or waits for a required approval; it never approves the request itself. Persist the approval ID to resume after a restart.

Provider errors retain their response; JSON decoding raises ProviderAPIError for provider failures. ManagedOperationError identifies contract/input/retention errors. See error handling and provider-specific behavior. Sensitive input may be refused before approval storage. A decoding error never resubmits a write.

Required provider scopes: ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.apps.readonly", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata.readonly", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly"]
