List Custom Signal Definitions
The definitions you can filter GET /signals/custom by: every global definition plus your own team’s. Free of charge — it is the catalogue, not data. Each entry’s slug is the value to pass as type; description is the rule a post must satisfy to count; attributes names the definition-specific fields its signals carry.
