# Get a kind schema

> Read a kind's fields and allowed relationship types.

# Get a kind schema

Use `registry__get_kind_schema` before creating an unfamiliar artifact kind.

* Required input: `kind`.
* Optional inputs: `session_id` and Gateway's `rationale`.
* Returns: required and optional properties plus allowed relationship types.
* Effect: read only.

The generic create tools accept a free-form `metadata` object, so their own
schemas cannot name every field required by the selected kind.
