error: Optional[str]
error_details: Optional[ErrorDetails]

Underlying error message

is_upstream: Optional[bool]

True = MCP server returned an error. False = couldn’t reach the server

mcp_code: Optional[float]

MCP protocol error code

retryable: Optional[bool]

Whether the error is transient and worth retrying

status_code: Optional[float]

HTTP status code from the server

is_shared_oauth_callback_enabled: Optional[bool]

When true, the gateway worker uses the shared Cloudflare-owned OAuth callback endpoint as the redirect_uri for upstream on-behalf OAuth, instead of the customer portal hostname. Defaults to false (off); opt in per server by setting true. Effective behavior is gated by the gateway worker’s per-env rollout mode KV key.
