How to best return data from a webhook

Currently I have a function that calls a webhook and returns a stringified json:

@Query()
    public async getCollegeInfo(state_name : string, min_student : Integer, max_student: Integer): Promise<string> {
        try {
            const response =  await GetCollegeData.webhooks.FetchCollegeData.call({
                min_size : min_student,
                max_size : max_student,
                school_state : resolveState(state_name)
            });

            //console.log(JSON.stringify(response))
            //console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
            return (JSON.stringify(response));
           } catch (error) {
            console.error("Error fetching college information:", error);
            throw new Error("Failed to fetch college information");
        }
    }

I the webhook calls an api that returns a json. Then the webhook parses this output into a list of records. Then when I call this webhook in the function, i return the data as a stringified json. I initially did this to test if the function was working and now that the function is working I am wondering what is the best way to return the data so I can integrate in other AIP apps. For instance, I am currently trying to display the data in a widget in workshop.
