    Add Table name/title to the REST APIOpen

    The REST API returns data_table_format items with no title or name field — every table has a visible name in the Miro UI, but developers can't access it programmatically. What we tried:GET /v2/boards/{id}/items?type=data_table_format — returns tables but no title field. Other item types (sticky notes, shapes, text, cards) all include content/title.GET /v2-experimental/boards/{id}/tables/{id} — has the title, but returns 403 for standard OAuth apps (boards:read boards:write). No additional scope available to unlock it.MCP context_explore — returns generic names like "Table 3458764661623371178" instead of real names. Works for frames/docs but not tables.MCP context_get — the only thing that works. Returns an AI-generated summary where the name appears in prose like titled "Planner Tasks". We extract it with regex.Why this workaround is bad:~10-15s latency per table (AI processes all row data just to produce a summary) Non-deterministic output — same table returns different prose each call; sometimes the name isn't mentioned at all Requires regex against natural language (fragile) No way to ask for "just the title" — context_get only accepts a URL Requires a separate OAuth 2.1 flow (DCR + PKCE) just to connect to MCP Tokens expire hourlyWe're using an AI content analysis tool as a metadata lookup. The data already exists in the Miro backend — it just needs a field on the REST response. The ask: Add a title field to data_table_format items in the v2 API, or make the experimental tables API accessible to standard OAuth apps.
