# List FIDO MDS authenticator metadata

> Returns FIDO Metadata Service (MDS) authenticator entries. Pass a comma-separated list of FIDO2 AAGUIDs to look up specific authenticators (AAGUIDs with no matching entry are omitted from the response), or omit the aaguids parameter to return the full catalog. Use this to display authenticator details (name, icon, transports, certification status) for passkey credentials, e.g. YubiKeys. This is global reference data and is not project-scoped.

Required API key permission: `observe:metadata:read`.
