I would like to see the ability to call a "sub" schema of an overall graph schema. The idea is that I may be able to provide arguments (labels, properties, relationships):

```auto
CALL db.schema(labels: ["label 1", "label 2"]) 

```

to only show a subset of the overall schema based on those arguments.

if you have APOC installed this should be possible via apoc.meta,subGraph. See [https://neo4j.com/docs/labs/apoc/current/database-introspection/meta/](https://neo4j.com/docs/labs/apoc/current/database-introspection/meta/)

Well I obviously didn't look hard enough. Might as well delete this thread.
