Health checks unavailable on this deployment

Media typeapplication/json

Standard error response.

Wire shape is [RFC 9457 Problem Details](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9457): 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` with the `application/problem+json` content type.

object

**allowed\_actions**

Recovery actions the caller can take next.

Array\<object>

Agent-actionable link describing a follow-up the caller can take. Used in two contexts:

* **Error recovery** — `ErrorResponse.allowed_actions` carries `rel`s like `retry`, `retry-later`, `unarchive`, `get-existing` so the agent knows the right next call after a 4xx/429.
* **Entity hypermedia** — `WithUrls<T>.allowed_actions` carries state-aware `rel`s like `cancel`, `events`, `self`, `update` on the entity itself so the agent can follow links instead of reconstructing routes from prose.

The shape is intentionally identical across both contexts; the closed `rel` vocabulary distinguishes them.

object

**hint**

Short, agent-readable hint (e.g. “Shorten ‘name’ to <= 200 chars.”, “Cancel the active turn for this session.”).

string | null

**href**

Absolute (preferred) or relative URL the caller may invoke directly. **Always present on entity hypermedia actions** (`WithUrls<T>.allowed_actions`); **optional on error-recovery actions** (`ErrorResponse.allowed_actions`) where the matching `operation_id` is enough and the URI is implicit from the failed call.

string | null

**method**

HTTP method to use against `href`. Required for entity hypermedia actions; usually omitted on error-recovery actions where the same operation is retried with its original method.

string | null

**operation\_id**

OpenAPI `operationId` the caller should invoke. Lets an MCP client resolve the call without parsing `href`.

string | null

**rel**

required

Link relation describing the action. Examples: `self`, `cancel`, `pause`, `resume`, `events`, `retry`, `retry-later`, `unarchive`, `get-existing`, `delete`, `update`.

string

**schema\_ref**

OpenAPI `$ref` to the request-body schema, when the action takes one (e.g. `#/components/schemas/UpdateSessionRequest`). Lets a tool-calling agent fetch the input shape without scanning the whole spec.

string | null

**code**

Stable, machine-readable error code (snake\_case).

string | null

**detail**

Human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence.

string | null

**instance**

Request URI for this occurrence.

string | null

**retry\_after\_seconds**

Seconds the caller should wait before retrying (429 / transient 503).

integer | null format: int32

**status**

required

HTTP status code; mirrors the response status line.

integer format: int32

**title**

required

Short, human-readable summary of the problem (e.g. “Not Found”).

string

**type**

RFC 9457 problem type URI. Optional; identifies the problem class.

string | null

##### Example

```json
{
  "allowed_actions": [
    {
      "method": "POST"
    }

  "code": "session_not_found",
  "detail": "Session session_01933b5a000070008000000000000001 not found in org org_01933b5a000070008000000000000001.",
