  The '/sys/wrapping/unwrap' endpoint unwraps a wrapped response

# /sys/wrapping/unwrap

## POST

<dl>
  <dt>Description</dt>
  <dd>
    Returns the original response inside the given wrapping token. Unlike
    simply reading `cubbyhole/response` (which is deprecated), this endpoint
    provides additional validation checks on the token, returns the original
    value on the wire rather than a JSON string representation of it, and
    ensures that the response is properly audit-logged.
