Examples
Search returns only automations owned by the calling user. Archived automations do not appear. Use fields_to_return to request the automation fields you need, and raise or lower past_runs_limit when you want recent run history embedded in each row. When an automation is paused or broken, GovTribe also returns paused_at or broken_details automatically so the agent does not need to request those state-specific fields.
