Account overview

Errors

Tool failures (missing key, 401, invalid URL, daily limit, unsafe destination) are returned as tools/call with isError: true so the model can explain them. Protocol errors (unknown method, bad JSON) stay JSON-RPC errors.

  • 401 — API key missing or wrong (slk_...). Create a key under API Keys.

  • 400 — invalid URL, slug taken, daily create limit, blocked or unsafe destination.

  • 404 — unknown link id.

  • Process fails at start if Node is older than 18 (fetch is required).

n8n, Make, and custom agents can also call /api/v1 with the same headers.
