Accessing custom attribute DescriptionAttribute on RouteAttribute



I've added a DescriptionAttribute on the RouteAttribute in my API solution with the hopes that I can retrieve the information programmatically as part of Controller function. For example:


[Route("api/users/filter"), Description("Search for users that match filter")]



I haven't been able to figure out how to access it however. I have looked at several posts in SO that provide guidance but I am unsure how to use those with a RouteAttribute.



Using Visual Studio debug I was able to drill into the RouteAttribute entry and see the value:



(new
System.Collections.Generic.Mscorlib_CollectionDebugView((new
System.Collections.Generic.Mscorlib_CollectionDebugView(((System.Web.Http.Controllers.ReflectedHttpActionDescriptor)((System.Web.Http.Controllers.HttpActionDescriptor)(new
System.Collections.Generic.Mscorlib_DictionaryValueCollectionDebugView(item.Route.DataTokens.Values).Items[0]))[0]).MethodInfo.CustomAttributes).Items[1]).ConstructorArguments).Items[0]).Value



Unfortunately this is inaccessible due to it's protection level. Is there a way to get to this information?
