getVar(name, default=None)

Read the current tenant-shared runtime variable value by id.

Use these fields as the Python call arguments or keyword payload for this helper.

{
  "name": "temperature_threshold",
  "default": 80
}

Field	Description
`name`	Runtime variable id.
`default`	Value returned when the variable is missing.

def run():
    threshold = float(getVar("temperature_threshold", 80) or 80)
    return {"threshold": threshold}

Reads the runtime store at call time, so external updates made during a long-running Element can be observed by later getVar calls.
Use variables for non-secret config only. Use getSecret for credentials.
