          vpandey imeredith WDYT about having some way of checking what features are available when requesting a pipeline

          curl -v -X GET "http://localhost:8080/jenkins/blue/rest/organizations/jenkins/pipelines/test1"

          {
  "organization" : "jenkins",
  "name" : "test1",
  "branches" : [ ],
  "capabilities": {
    "pullRequests": false,
    "branches": false
  }
}

          jdumay This is already possible. A pipeline response has optional branchNames element that is array of branch names. If this is empty or null, pipeline tab should not be seen and so the pull request should be hidden as well - that is no branches no pull request.

          Below shows a pipeline with branches:

          curl -v http://localhost:8080/jenkins/blue/rest/organizations/jenkins/pipelines/p/
    
    {
        "displayName": "p",
        "name": "p",
        "organization": "jenkins",
        "weatherScore": 100,
        "branchNames": [
            "feature1",
            "master",
            "feature2"
        ],
        "numberOfFailingBranches": 0,
        "numberOfFailingPullRequests": 0,
        "numberOfSuccessfulBranches": 0,
        "numberOfSuccessfulPullRequests": 0,
        "totalNumberOfBranches": 3,
        "totalNumberOfPullRequests": 0
    }

          Here is a pipeline without branches:

          curl -v -X GET  "http://localhost:8080/jenkins/blue/rest/organizations/jenkins/pipelines/test1"

    {
      "organization" : "jenkins",
      "name" : "test1",
      "displayName": "test1",
      "weatherScore": 100
    }
