Errors

404 not_found	The project or item doesn't exist in this workspace. A project from another workspace also returns 404, never 403.
422 invalid_request	A parameter or body field is missing or has the wrong type or value. The message names the field. Also returned when a write would pass the plan's prompt limit.
401 unauthorized	No key was sent, or the key is unknown, revoked or expired, or the member who created it has left the workspace or been deactivated.
402 plan_required	The workspace's plan doesn't include API access. It's included on Grow, Scale and Custom.
403 workspace_not_approved	The workspace is still waiting for approval, or wasn't approved.
429 rate_limited	Too many requests this minute. Wait for the number of seconds in the `Retry-After` header, then retry.

Every code, and what to retry, is in Errors.

Failures arrive as a tool error — isError: true with code: message as text. See Using the tools.
