An agency record lists a file hash, a file size, and the mailbox that sent the file, and the record does not include the file body. What data type is that record?

Short Explanation
The label on a sealed jar can list the weight, a lot code, and the shipper, and still not be the contents. You are reading metadata about the file. The trap is calling that label the file body, a volume baseline, or a packet dump of the bytes.
Full Explanation
Metadata is data about an object rather than the object itself. A hash, a size, and the sending mailbox describe the file and its origin without including the body. Full content and a packet payload would be the bytes. A baseline would be an aggregate of how often similar files appear. "Metadata about the file: its hash, its size, and the mailbox that sent it, without the body". Hash, size, and sending mailbox, with the body absent, are metadata about the file. "Full content: the complete file body itself, in the form the sender attached to the agency message". Full content would be the file body as attached. This record explicitly does not include that body. "A statistical baseline of how many similar files that agency mailbox usually sends". A baseline counts or charts usual volume for the mailbox. It is not the hash, size, and sender of one file. "A tcpdump payload that still contains the file bytes from the transfer of that message". A tcpdump payload would still contain the transferred bytes. Those bytes are the body this record does not have. Exam caveat: metadata can be enough to pivot on a hash or a sender, and it still does not satisfy a request for the file body. That request would need full content, which is not this record. Operational check: open the record and confirm the stored fields are the hash, the size, and the sending mailbox, and that the file body is not attached.
