Gets a connection.

**Not available yet.** Sylphx Connections is declared in the registry but no backend serves it: every call answers `501` with the problem code `UNIMPLEMENTED`.

- **Path** `GET https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/connections/connection`
- **Scope** `connections:read`
- **Effect** `read` — nothing is written.
- **Collection** [connections](/docs/api/connections)
