<Tip>
  When present, `result.table` is the follow-up address to reuse after this call. For non-destructive table-targeted mutations, pass `result.table.nodeId` to the next table operation instead of re-running `find()`. Destructive operations may omit `table`.
</Tip>

### Example response

```json theme={null}
{
  "success": true,
  "table": {

      "entityType": "comment",
      "kind": "entity"
    }
  ]
}
```
