Open Web Action - possible to read action metadata?

[col-panic]

I have an Action that is published as open access web action. Now I would like to see the metadata of the
action in order to see what parameters this action requires. (Much like wsk action get [action-name])

Is this possible? I could not find an url in the documentation allowing me to do so

I believe you can still get the metadata of your action with a standard URL(/actions/{action}).
The web action URL(/web/{action}) is to invoke your web action.

@style95 unfortunately not - as I need an authentication for the /actions/{action} url - I want to fetch the metadata without authentcation!

@col-panic
I don't think that is supported at the moment.

I think you can implement a HEAD response and return the metadata
is the authentication at user level or using the built in auth?

@rabbah that sounds like a neat approach - authentication? An action with web=true does not need authentication per se or am I wrong?
