HTTP 403insufficient_scope

Insufficient scope

The credential is valid but was not granted a scope this operation requires.

Likely causes

The API key was minted without the needed scope (e.g. `tasks:write`).
An OAuth grant requested read scopes only, then attempted a write.

How to fix

Re-mint the API key with the scopes the operation lists under “Required scopes”.
For OAuth, request the missing scope during authorization.
