            key), `key_expired` or `invalid_credentials`. Elsewhere, for

    ValidationFailed:
      description: >-
        The request body or query string failed validation. `code` says which
        kind (`validation_failed`, `invalid_json`, `invalid_parameter`,
        `unknown_query_parameter`, `missing_parameter`), and an enum filter
        names the allowed values in `valid` (every repeated value is checked,
        e.g. `?status=open&status=zz` is a 400). A `validation_failed` body also
        carries `message` (the first failing fields), `hint` (how to fix it, for
        example that a finding `description` is a TipTap JSON document and not a
        string) and `details` (field name to messages).

        Missing or invalid API key. The body names the cause in `code` (for

        here) with a `message` and `hint`.

        Resource not found in your organization. Also returned when a path id is
        not a UUID, and `{ "error": "not_found" }` for a path this API does not
        have. The body keeps `error: "Not found"` and adds `code: "not_found"`
        and a `hint`.
