The API should, when called with the ID of an existing EntitySchema, return that ID and an associated label and description. Implementing searching by label or alias is out of scope of M2 (though we will investigate it in T362005).
We might hook this up with the wbsearchentities API, which would let us reuse the normal “entity selector” expert for the EntitySchema data type (simplifying T362004); or we might expose this via a separate API endpoint (Action or REST).
