What is the proposed idea/solution?

Offer metadata for automations via the REST API.

Helpful values to return would be:
[Base ID], [Automation ID], [Folder (If Applicable)], [On or Off]

It would also be great to provide an option to obtain the Automation History with query parameters to enable precise tracking and error catching within an organization's workflow.

I think that the Make API documentation offers a few great blueprint for each of these two endpoints:
[List Scenarios] for Automations

[List Scenario Logs] or [Get Execution Log] for Automation History

How does is solve the user problems?

Provides insights into the current status of automations, and facilitates smoother resolution of automation errors.

How was this validated?

Many other platforms offer this, and the Airtable Metadata API already exists to provide similar information for other aspects of Airtable.

Who is the target audience?

Heavy users of the Airtable API.
