Errors and traces
Move from a stable error code to the failed validation step and its corrective action.
Read an authorization trace
- Confirm the client, endpoint, environment, request ID, and final status.
- Find the first failed step; later skipped steps did not run.
- Compare Observed with Expected and follow the exact corrective action.
- Retry with a fresh protocol request after changing the client or configuration.
Correlate API errors
Management API errors include a stable code and request ID. Record both. Validation failures may include field details; internal errors intentionally avoid exposing implementation data.

"error": {
"code": "environment_not_found",
"message": "The selected environment was not found.",
"requestId": "req_..."

Authometry redacts fields whose names identify credentials before trace persistence. Keep secrets out of arbitrary query fields, names, descriptions, custom claims, and policy messages; redaction is defense in depth, not a storage boundary.
