Research direction

Start by searching the repository for EventGridEvent, CloudEvent, and get_json to establish the current receiving behavior. Confirm how the payload, metadata, and extension attributes are exposed, then document guidance that answers how an Azure Function receives an EventGrid CloudEvent and what the completed behavior is.

Description

area:python-functions

EventGrid can send events in CloudEvents v1 format - but how do I receive them in a function? I expected to see a func.CloudEvent just like func.EventGridEvent or some transformation, but "CloudEvent" yields 0 hits in this repo.

get_json() seems to give me the payload (.data), but what about the metadata? What about extension attributes?
