Responses

What comes back

statusMeaning
queued Accepted, waiting for the jobs ahead of it. `position` counts how many those are.
running The tool is executing now.
succeeded Finished; `result` holds the tool's output and `license` the terms it came under.
failed Finished; `error` holds a code and a message.

Errors

codeMeaning
invalid_input The client supplied invalid or incomplete input.
tool_unavailable The requested third-party dependency is not available on this host.
execution_failed A configured third-party process exited unsuccessfully.
internal_error An adapter failed in a way it does not describe. The detail is in the server log, not the response.
not_found No job has that id. Finished jobs are dropped eventually.
