Errors

Status	Meaning	Body
`401`	No authenticated user	`{"success":false,"message":"Unauthenticated."}`
`404`	Credential not found, or not owned by the caller	`{"success":false,"message":"Credential not found."}`
`422`	Auth type differs from the stored credential	`{"success":false,"message":"Auth type cannot be changed (credential is bearer). Create a new credential instead."}`
`422`	Missing per-type required fields	`{"success":false,"message":"Token is required."}`
`502`	Live credential update failed	`{"success":false,"message":"<cleaned upstream error>"}`
`422`	Validation failed	`{"message":"…","errors":{"field":["…"]}}`
`403`	Feature tools not enabled for the account

Notes

The credential's public id never changes across an update, so tools referencing it stay valid.
Secrets are re-entered on every update — the platform never returns a previously stored secret for display.
