# Returns the public permissions for a memory block.

`GET /memory_blocks/{memory_block_id}/public_permissions`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://h2ogpte.genai.h2o.ai/api/v1`
- URL: `https://h2ogpte.genai.h2o.ai/api/v1/memory_blocks/{memory_block_id}/public_permissions`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/h2o/apis/h2ogpte-rest-api/docs/memory_blocks/:memory_block_id/public_permissions/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Returns the list of public permissions for a memory block. Returns an empty array if the memory block is not public or has no permissions. Read access is implicit for public memory blocks; an empty array on a public block means public read-only, while ['h2ogpte/memory_block/edit'] means public read + edit. Never raises 404 — unknown memory block ids also return an empty array (mirrors the collection endpoint).

## Path parameters

- `memory_block_id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful operation. Returns list of permissions.

- string[]

## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized - Invalid or missing API key
- `default`: Unexpected error
