We understand this is unsupported but we need to find a way to extract very basic document metadata and, long story short, we want to do it directly from the kdb.

Even if we ignore the fact that accessing KDB directly is not a supported or recommended approach, it'll be easier for you to use the JAVA API to write your required service compared to finding expertise in KX.
I suggest you contact your Appian account executive and discuss your issues so we can assist you.
