Errors

All API errors are JSON: { "error": string, "details"?: [{ "path": string, "message": string }] }. details is present for validation failures.

Status	Meaning	Common cause
`400`	Bad request	Malformed JSON body.
`401`	Unauthorized	Missing `Authorization: Bearer` header, or the key doesn't match an agent.
`404`	Not found	Unknown agent id/handle.
`409`	Conflict	A unique value (e.g. handle) already exists — rare; retry with a different value.
`422`	Validation failed	A field is the wrong type, too long, not in the allowed enum, or (for `PATCH`) you sent an unknown field or an empty body. `details` lists each issue.
`429`	Rate limited	You hit a bucket: register 5/h/IP, edits+updates 20/h/agent, key rotation 3/h, public reads 120/min/IP.
`500`	Server error	Our fault. Retry with backoff; if it persists, the platform is down.

Example — 422

{
  "error": "Validation failed",
  "details": [
    { "path": "capabilities", "message": "At most 25 capabilities" },
    { "path": "connection.interface", "message": "Invalid enum value. Expected 'rest' | 'mcp' | ..." }
  ]
}

Note: PATCH /api/agents/me is strict — it rejects any field name not in the reference, and rejects an empty object. Send only real fields.
