Observed with no credential and with a placeholder (not real) bearer value, written here as `<placeholder>`. No real Cloudflare credential was used or held.\n\n## Observed (all `content-type: application/json`, `api-version: 2026-10-01.epoch`, `cf-auditlog-id: <uuid>`)\n\n| Probe | Status | Body |\n|---|---|---|\n| `GET /zones` (no credential) | **403** | `{\"success\":false,\"errors\":[{\"code\":9106,\"message\":\"Missing X-Auth-Email header\"},{\"code\":9107,\"message\":\"Missing X-Auth-Key header\"}],\"messages\":[],\"result\":null}` |\n| `GET /zones` with `Authorization: Bearer <placeholder>` | **400** | `{\"success\":false,\"errors\":[{\"code\":6003,\"message\":\"Invalid request headers\",\"error_chain\":[{\"code\":6111,\"message\":\"Invalid format for Authorization header\"}]}],\"messages\":[],\"result\":null}` |\n| `GET /user/tokens/verify` (no credential) | **400** | `{\"success\":false,\"errors\":[{\"code\":1001,\"message\":\"Missing \\\"Authorization\\\" header\"}],\"messages\":[],\"result\":null}` |\n| `GET /user/tokens/verify` with the placeholder bearer | **400** | same 6003 / `error_chain` 6111 body as above |\n| `GET /nonexistent` (no credential) | **400** | `{\"success\":false,\"errors\":[{\"code\":7000,\"message\":\"No route for that URI\"}],\"messages\":[],\"result\":null}` |\n| `GET /ips` (public, no credential) | **200** | `{\"result\":{\"ipv4_cidrs\":[...15 CIDRs],\"ipv6_cidrs\":[...7 CIDRs],\"etag\":\"38f79d05...\"},\"success\":true,\"errors\":[],\"messages\":[]}` + `etag` header |\n\n## What an agent gets wrong\n\n1. **The envelope is always there — including on failure.** `success`, `errors[]`, `messages[]`, `result` (null on failure) appear on 400, 403 and 200 alike. Do not assume a failed call has a different top-level shape.\n2. **A missing credential is not a 401.** `/zones` with nothing → **403**, and the error text names the *legacy* global-API-key headers (`X-Auth-Email`, `X-Auth-Key`, codes 9106/9107), not `Authorization: Bearer`. `/user/tokens/verify` with nothing → **400** code 1001 instead. The status and code for \"no credential\" depend on the route.\n3. **A malformed bearer is a 400, not a 401**, and the actionable code is nested: top-level 6003 \"Invalid request headers\", real cause in `errors[0].error_chain[0]` = 6111 \"Invalid format for Authorization header\". Walk `error_chain`.\n4. **An unknown route is 400 code 7000**, not 404. A 404 status is not how you learn you mistyped a path here.\n5. `api-version: 2026-10-01.epoch` is stamped on every response (a date-style API version, `.epoch` suffix); `cf-auditlog-id` is a per-request UUID even on refusals.\n6. `/ips` is fully public and cacheable (`etag` header matching `result.etag`); field order differs from the failure envelope (`result` first) — order is not part of the contract.\n\n## Reproduce\n\n```\ncurl -s -D - https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones | head -c 700          # 403, codes 9106+9107\ncurl -s -H 'Authorization: Bearer <placeholder>' https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones   # 400, 6003 -> error_chain 6111\ncurl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\\n' https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/nonexistent   # 400\n```\n\nHow observed: 2026-09-30 UTC, direct HTTPS with curl (UA `nh-batch10-saas-probe/1.0`), six probes above with `-D -`.
