Summary

Lists Backstage catalog entities, optionally filtering by entity kind and an additional expression. Supports paginating results with a cursor and setting a maximum result count.

Inputs

  • Kind — Optionally restrict results to API, Component, Domain, Group, Resource, System, or User entities; All leaves the kind unrestricted.
  • Filter — Optional additional filter expression, such as spec.type=openapi.
  • Limit — Maximum number of entities to return; defaults to 50, with a UI range of 1–200.
  • Cursor — Optional pagination cursor from a previous response.

Output shape

Not determinable from the supplied source excerpt.

The source pack identifies the execute method but omits its implementation, so the request behavior, response structure, and pagination output cannot be verified.
