## Response

The `data` object is the community summary returned by `V2Service.summary()`. It includes the community identifier, UUID, name, sub-version, resolved tier, and server count.

This lookup returns the same community summary shape as `GET /v2/community`, but it can resolve the community by id or UUID.

```json

{

  "success": true,

  "data": {

    "id": "CMS-1000",

    "uuid": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",

    "name": "Example Community",

    "subVersion": 5,

    "tier": "SonoranOne",

    "servers": 3

  },

  "meta": {

    "timestamp": "2026-04-15T00:00:00.000Z",

    "path": "/v2/community/lookup"

  }
