`GET /api/vaults/{id}`

- URL: `https://api.engram.page/api/vaults/{id}`

    - `attachment_count` integer
    - `created_at` string, date-time, nullable

    - `id` string, uuid, required
    - `is_default` boolean
    - `name` string, required
    - `note_count` integer

    - `slug` string, nullable

## Other responses
