# Get a pipeline element's job_config

> Return one element's ``job_config``, hydrated lazily on expand.

The bulk `/elements` response projects the bigger keys (`parameters`,
`optimizer`, `cost`) out of every element so the details page loads fast;
this fills them back in for the one element a drawer is showing. Returns
``{}`` for an element that does not exist or is not visible to the caller.

Note this is the DB row, not the storage copy — the two differ only by
`objectives`, the multi-MB serialized measurement payload the worker reads
directly and no client needs.
