data_protection_file_type

This data source provides information about a single file type in the Falcon Data Protection file type catalog. File types are a CrowdStrike-managed reference catalog (for example PDF, DOCX, and source code file types) used when configuring Data Protection policies. Use this to look up a file type by ID or name and reference its attributes in other resources. This is a read-only catalog API; there is no corresponding resource to create, update, or delete file types.
