Depending on the version you should be able to use select and filter to only return the values you want.

Example using 'select':

curl -sku admin:admin https://${bigip_mgmt}/mgmt/tm/asm/policies?\$select=name,id | jq .

{
  "kind": "tm:asm:policies:policycollectionstate",
  "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies?$select=name%2Cid&ver=13.1.0",
  "totalItems": 3,
  "items": [
    {
      "kind": "tm:asm:policies:policystate",
      "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/fAbyu1LnMcZ4DIMoZbX8aQ?ver=13.1.0",
      "name": "pabnagd_testing",
      "id": "fAbyu1LnMcZ4DIMoZbX8aQ"
    },
    {
      "kind": "tm:asm:policies:policystate",
      "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/qeho9K6GhLF0y7x7kShkHw?ver=13.1.0",
      "name": "Policy_1",
      "id": "qeho9K6GhLF0y7x7kShkHw"
    },
    {
      "kind": "tm:asm:policies:policystate",
      "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/1ClbVJ8ymjI19OMzkHeN2Q?ver=13.1.0",
      "name": "Policy_2",
      "id": "1ClbVJ8ymjI19OMzkHeN2Q"
    }
  ]
}

Example using 'filter' and 'select' to extract a specific policy:


curl -sku admin:admin https://${bigip_mgmt}/mgmt/tm/asm/policies?\$filter=name%20eq%20"Policy_1"\&\$select=name,id | jq .

{
  "kind": "tm:asm:policies:policycollectionstate",
  "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies?$select=name%2Cid&ver=13.1.0&$filter=name%20eq%20Policy_1",
  "totalItems": 1,
  "items": [
    {
      "kind": "tm:asm:policies:policystate",
      "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/qeho9K6GhLF0y7x7kShkHw?ver=13.1.0",
      "name": "Policy_1",
      "id": "qeho9K6GhLF0y7x7kShkHw"
    }
  ]
}
