+- `get_field_path` — already covered by `get_field(expr, *names)`, which takes a
+  variadic field path and dispatches to the same underlying
+  `functions::core::get_field` UDF as the upstream `get_field_path` helper.
+
 **How to check:**
 1. Fetch the upstream scalar function documentation page
 2. Compare against functions listed in `python/datafusion/functions.py` (check the `__all__` list and function definitions)
 3. A function is covered if it exists in the Python API — it does NOT need a dedicated Rust `#[pyfunction]`. Many functions are aliases that reuse another function's Rust binding.
