Research direction

Start with the existing documentation example for DisableIntrospection and trace how validate() receives document_ast. Document the setup needed to disable introspection across queries, including how the query AST is obtained; done when a reader can follow the example without prior Query AST knowledge.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

✨ enhancement 📖 documentation

The docs currently give this example:

validation_errors = validate(
    schema=schema.graphql_schema,
    document_ast=parse('THE QUERY'),
    rules=(
        DisableIntrospection,
    )
)

But it's not obvious how to set document_ast, and leave it as an exercise to the reader assuming knowledge on Query AST. How should this be setup to disable introspection across all queries?

(Appreciate you might prefer support requests elsewhere, but no hits on my SO post on this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78100152/how-to-disable-introspection-on-graphene-python/78498422#78498422 and see it was also raised in https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene/issues/1388#issuecomment-1282388489)
