How about allowing the caller to specify what level of detail
they require via the Accept header?

▶ GET /<prefix>/<resource_name>
 Accept: application/json; detail=concise

"The Accept request-header field can be used to specify certain media types which are acceptable for the response.” [1]

detail=concise is not a media type and looking at the grammar in the RFC it wouldn’t be valid. It’s not appropriate for the Accept header.
