Pipeline runs (workflows)

Manage workflow executions (pipeline runs) in Seqera Platform.

The List workflows and Describe workflow endpoints support the attributes query parameter to enrich the default response. Current supported values are optimized, labels, messages, minimal, and pipelineInfo.

Use attributes=pipelineInfo to include the source pipeline reference for a run, including the pipeline identifier, workspace identifier, and version metadata.
