namespace_type'agnostic' | 'single'

Determines whether the exception container is available in all Kibana spaces or just the space in which it is created, where:

  • single: Only available in the Kibana space in which it is created.
  • agnostic: Available in all Kibana spaces.

For endpoint artifacts, the namespace_type must always be agnostic. Space awareness for endpoint artifacts is enforced based on Elastic Defend policy assignments.

single fetches the item in the current space; agnostic fetches a global (space-agnostic) item. Must match how the list was created.
