# Inspect a Location reference

> location_reference_get: permissions and generated input/output contracts.

`location_reference_get` · Gateway release **0.8.3**

Display one actual saved, linked Location image. Returns original byte identity and a preview fingerprint bound to the current Location/Bible/reference set. Inspect architecture and layout before using this fingerprint for derivatives. Delivery is a preview receipt, not review, human approval or canon. Declare anchorReviewed=true only after inspecting this actual image.

Required scopes: `account:read`, `studio:read`. Read-only.

Availability depends on runtime configuration and the permissions granted to this connection. Use live MCP discovery as the authority.
