How to list all of the attributes in a terraform_remote_state datasource?

I've been trying to debug an issue related to a terraform_remote_state datasource.

Goal: Show all of the attributes in data terraform_remote_state my_remote_state

Attempt: terraform state show data.terraform_remote_state.my_remote_state

Expected: show all attributes for the datasource

Result:

No instance found for the given address!

This command requires that the address references one specific instance.
To view the available instances, use "terraform state list". Please modify 
the address to reference a specific instance.

I ran terraform state list to view the list addresses, but the datasource address wasn't listed. If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.

The commands terraform state show and terraform state list will show you the resources contained within the state for your current backend. Remote state is not state managed by your current backend.

If you have access to the definition for the other backend, simply change to that project/repo, initialise, make sure you're in the correct workspace, then use terraform state show and terraform state list there instead.
