Problem type

Forbidden

Code
forbidden
HTTP status
403 Forbidden
Retry
Only after a fix
typehttps://api.tobie.team/problems/forbidden

What it means

The credential is valid, but it may not perform this operation.

Common causes

  • The operation is limited to another kind of principal, such as Tobie operators.
  • Your role at the employer does not include this action.

What to do

Do not retry. Call GET /v1/meta to see what this credential can do, and ask an admin if you need more access.

Retry: only after a fix. The same request fails the same way until you change the request, the credential or the resource.

Over MCP, the same failure is a tool result with isError: true, the code forbidden and retryable: false.
