Errors

Code	Description
`400`	Validation failed — body is malformed or missing required fields.
`401`	Missing or invalid API key. Send the raw key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
`403`	Agent does not hold the permission scope required for this call (e.g. preempt on a higher-priority class).
`404`	Calendar owner or booking id not found.
`409`	Conflict — the requested slot was already committed at higher priority. Inspect alternatives[] in the response body.
`422`	Validation error — the request body is structurally valid but semantically rejected. Common causes: earliest_start is in the past (PAST_TIME), the window is shorter than the requested duration (WINDOW_TOO_NARROW), the chosen slot is outside the hold window (SLOT_OUTSIDE_HOLD), or an idempotency key was reused with a different body (IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT). The error code field names the specific cause.
