# Get a team

> One team, by its slug, as list_teams describes it.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="get">GET</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/teams/{team}</code></div>

A secret team is found only by its own people and the workspace's owners; anyone else is told it does not exist. Members of the workspace only.

`404` for a team that does not exist, or a secret one you are not in, unless you are an owner.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`team`](/reference/mcp/#team) with `action` `get`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`workspace:read`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Path parameters

| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
