Request correlation id (rq_ followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. rq_01abf3...). Identical to the X-Correlation-Id response header. A client-supplied X-Correlation-Id request header (at most 128 chars of A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ : / = -) is echoed back here and in the response header; a missing or invalid value is silently replaced with a generated rq_… id.
Pointer to the specific failing resource (e.g. /items/12345). Path-only, no /v1 version prefix. Absent on unknown-path 404 and unexpected 500 responses.
Sub-reason code surfaced from upstream BoxHero core (on core-mapped 4xx) or from the gateway itself (e.g. not-available-for-api-token on 403). Use this for fine-grained branching after dispatching on type.
Field-level error details. Present on request-validation /errors/invalid-request (400) responses. Absent on malformed-JSON 400, 413 body-too-large, and most errors mapped from BoxHero core (which include it only when core supplies an array; this can include 403). Each entry locates a single failure via JSONPath-like path segments and a human-readable message.

429Rate limit exceeded. Limits are per team and shared by all of the team's API tokens: 5 requests per second and 300 requests per minute. The RateLimit and X-RateLimit-* headers reflect the per-minute window; check them and Retry-After before retrying. This status is also returned when the client IP exceeds 30 failed authentication attempts within 60 seconds, even if the token is valid.
