## Permissions

User must have **`API_MANAGEMENT` + `VIEW`** permission in the project.

## 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](/api-reference/policies/crud)
* **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
