## Overview

Reads the Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels of a file, for showing them next to the file in a
user interface. The labels come from the Microsoft SharePoint Embedded storage where the vault
keeps the file; vaults that do not store files there have no labels.

The call is advisory: it never fails because labels are unavailable. Whenever the server cannot
produce labels, it returns an empty `label_info`. Do not use it as a security check.
