Notes and Warnings

• Method Identifier: The method is identified by the combination of name (path) and httpMethod — not by ID
• Policy Details: Policy objects contain basic information only. For full policy configuration, use the Policies API
• Empty Lists: If no policies exist in a pipeline, an empty array is returned
• Difference from List Endpoint Policies: This endpoint uses the /methods/policies/ path and follows the same pattern as the other methods-based endpoints
