# Read a saved Change Stack overview and layers

> Omit snapshot_id for the latest saved artifact or supply one to pin an exact retained snapshot. Outdated artifacts remain readable. Null means no saved artifact exists; this operation never starts generation.

> [tab] CLI Tool
>
> ```bash
> coderabbit api request "/repositories/$REPOSITORY_ID/pull-requests/$PULL_REQUEST_NUMBER/change-stack"
> ```
>
> To install and sign in to the CLI, see [Call from the CLI](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/api/cli.md).

> [tab] MCP Server
>
> An agent connected to the [CodeRabbit MCP server](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/api/mcp.md) runs this operation as the `get_pull_request_change_stack` tool. The connection selects the organization, so the arguments have no `org_id` or `org_name`.
