A 200 response returns the shape shown in the rail. Every non-2xx response is an RFC 7807 problem with a stable code.

Commonly returned errors

The codes this operation reaches on its own path: the auth stack, its own validation and ownership checks, and the transport. Not a closed set — a shared code from the full registry can still surface. Each links to the code’s own page, the same URL its type dereferences to.

401 No token was presented, or the token is revoked, expired or unknown.
403 The token lacks a required scope, or this account does not own the resource.
404 No such resource for this account.
422 Validation error
429 The rate limit for this token is exhausted. See `Retry-After`.
500 Something went wrong on our side. The failure is logged against `requestId`.
