> ## Agent Instructions
> Use Stable documentation by default. Honor an explicit Beta request or a URL under /docs/beta/. If the requested version conflicts with the installed CLI package or API origin, clarify the target before writing integration code.
> Pages under /docs/beta/ document Beta; other product pages document Stable. Keep the CLI package, commands, API origin, and credentials within the selected version. State the documentation version in your answer.
> For MCP search, always pass version: Stable or version: Beta. Unfiltered search mixes both versions. For filesystem reads, keep Beta queries under /beta/ and exclude /beta/ from Stable queries; discover paths before reading them.
> The public docs base is https://photon.codes/docs. Convert MCP page paths to public URLs under that base, preserving /beta/ when present. Read https://photon.codes/docs/skill.md for version selection and https://photon.codes/docs/llms.txt for the version indexes.

# Get an User

> Get an User: getUser in the TypeScript, Python, Rust and Go clients.

`GET /v1/projects/{id}/users/{userId}`

Returns one User after refreshing its Human or Agent classification and project ownership where supported. iMessage email identities retain their producer-observed classification and ownership because no current email ownership lookup is available. WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business and iMessage perform no provider fetch; only SMS Human classifications perform a phone number lookup. Current-project Agents expose resourceId; external-project Agents expose only pairwise managedBy. Conditional response evaluation uses the post-reconciliation representation. Stored reads use each platform definition; projection requires adapter support.
