2
getCollection
Read the collection back to confirm it was created with the expected definition.

  summary: Create, read, update, and delete a Postman collection end to end.
  description: >-
    Exercises the full create-read-update-delete lifecycle for a Postman
    collection. The workflow creates a collection, reads it back to confirm its
    contents, replaces its definition with an updated name, and finally deletes
    it. Each step spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and
    executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
