Hello,

There are two ways to determine whether a DLT pipeline is running in Full Refresh or Incremental mode:

1. DLT Event Log Schema
   The details column in the DLT event log schema includes information on "full_refresh". You can use this to identify whether it is True or False.

   DLT Event Log Schema Documentation

   An example of the details column is as follows:

   {"user_action":{"action":"START","user_name":"xxxxxxx@gmail.com","user_id":xxxxxxxx,"request":{"start_request":{"full_refresh":false,"validate_only":false}}}}

2. Databricks REST API
   You can retrieve DLT pipeline information using the Databricks REST API, which also contains the "full_refresh" field. Here, you can check whether it is True or False.

   Since you can invoke the Databricks REST API from Python, this might help you achieve what you’re aiming for.

I hope this helps!
