  title: Jenkins Pipeline Graph View Plugin API
  description: |
    REST API for the Jenkins Pipeline Graph View Plugin. This plugin provides enhanced visualization 
    and interaction capabilities for Jenkins pipeline builds.

    The plugin exposes two main sets of endpoints:
    - Pipeline Overview APIs: For individual pipeline run details, console output, and build control
    - Multi-Pipeline Graph APIs: For viewing multiple pipeline runs in aggregate
  version: 1.0.0
