Media type application/json

Standard error response.

Wire shape is RFC 9457 Problem Details: every error response includes title and status, and may include detail, code, allowed_actions, retry_after_seconds, instance, and type. The content type is rewritten to application/problem+json by [problem_json_content_type].

object
allowed_actions

Recovery actions the caller can take next.

Array<object>

Agent-actionable recovery hint attached to an error response.

object
hint

string | null

string | null
instance

status
required

HTTP status code; mirrors the response status line.

integer format: int32
