      questions:
      - Where does the data in a given asset come from and where does it flow?
      - Can I limit how many hops of lineage are returned?

      questions:
      - How do I fetch the next page of lineage when an asset has many neighbours?

      intent: Get lineage by type and unique attribute
      effect: read
      questions:
      - Can I look up lineage using an asset's type and qualified name instead of its GUID?
      - Which call returns lineage when I only know the entity type and unique attribute?
      instructions:
      - text: Get {direction} lineage for the {type} entity identified by unique attribute.
        slots:
          direction: query.direction
