Get a single package version

Look up one version of a package by its numeric id.

Steps

1. Know the version’s versionId — if you don’t, run list-package-versions first.

2. Call the tool:

   get_package_version { org: "your-org", packageType: "npm", packageName: "your-package", versionId: 123456 }

3. Read the result: { id, name, createdAt }.

This is the recommended step before deleting a version — confirm the name and createdAt match what you expect before calling delete-package-version.

Common mistake

versionId is GitHub’s internal numeric package-version id, not the semver/tag name string shown elsewhere (e.g. 1.2.3 or sha256:...). Passing a version’s display name where an id is expected fails validation (the schema requires an integer) rather than silently matching by name.
