# Total a column, as the builder

`GET https://studio.gtable.app/v1/apps/{appId}/tables/{tableId}/records/summary`

Reductions over the rows a list would return.

`summaries` is a JSON object of field id (or exact name) to reduction; values come back raw and unformatted. An unknown field is refused, listing the table's fields.

Requires the `records:read` scope. Operation `apps.records.summarise`. MCP tool `apps_records_summarise`. CLI, once published: `gtable apps records summarise`.
