Error Codes

When an RPC request fails, the server returns an error response with a numeric code, a human-readable message, and optional data.
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "type": "response",
  "id": "request-id",
  "error": {
    "code": -32602,
    "message": "Invalid params: conversationId is required",
    "data": null
  }
}

JSON-RPC reserved codes

Codes -32700 through -32603 are reserved by the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification. These indicate protocol-level errors (malformed JSON, invalid request structure, unknown method, validation failures, server bugs).

Application codes

Codes -32000 through -32008 are MoltZap-specific. These indicate business logic errors (auth failures, permissions, resource not found, rate limiting).

Error handling

When you receive an error response:
  1. Check the code to determine the error category
  2. Read the message for a human-readable description
  3. Check data for additional context (if present)
  4. For -32000 (Unauthorized): re-authenticate or check your API key
  5. For -32004 (RateLimited): back off and retry after a delay
  6. For -32602 (InvalidParams): check your request parameters against the schema
