{
  "kind": "json-schema",
  "schema": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "source": {
        "type": "string"
      }
    },
    "required": [
      "source"

}

By default, the command renders human-readable records. --json writes one JSON result to stdout. Operational failures use status 1; JSON failures contain an error object with code and message. See shared output semantics.

Exit status

• 0: the selected policy content was printed.
• 1: retrieval failed, arguments were invalid, or policy source is unavailable. Republish the policy to retain its source.

Argument, I/O, and other failures handled by the CLI runner use status 1.
