fields:

##### !! full

!type u64

The highest full snapshot slot

##### !! incremental

!type u64 | null

The highest incremental snapshot slot _based on_ `full`

### !!result No Snapshot

```jsonc !response

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  // !hover(1:4) result
  "error": {
    "code": -32008,
    "message": "No snapshot"
  },
  "id": 1
}
```
