You can do a few different things.

1. Use a service to derive the headers of a DataShape and that can be output as a csv file

2. Use a Service to create an empty infotable with the datashape put it on a DataExport widget and that will export it as CSV

3. Direct URL call to retrieve the definition, you could get it as xml or json
