get_type_details looks up a specific GraphQL type by name and returns its complete definition: every field, its return type, nullability, and the arguments each field accepts. Use this tool after get_graphql_schema to understand the exact shape of a type before constructing a query with all_monday_api.

This is especially useful for complex object types like Board, Item, or Column, which have many fields and nested arguments that are impractical to memorize.

Parameters

Example

Get all fields on the Board type:

{
  "typeName": "Board"
}

The response includes the type's kind (OBJECT), description, and a fields array. Each field entry includes its name, description, return type (with nullability and nesting), and any arguments it accepts. For example, the Board type includes fields like:

You can use any type name found in the types array from get_graphql_schema — for example, "Item", "Column", "User", "Group", "Workspace", "Update", or input types like "ItemsQuery".

Programmatic equivalent

You can retrieve the same information with a GraphQL type introspection query:

{
  __type(name: "Board") {
    name
    kind
    description
    fields {
      name
      description
      type {
        name
        kind
        ofType {
          name
          kind
        }
      }
      args {
        name
        type {
          name
          kind
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
