Error codes

Tool execution errors are not protocol errors: the result has isError: true with details in structuredContent.error, so the model can read them and self-correct.

{
  "error": {
    "code": "tool_budget_exhausted",
    "message": "tool budget of 5 calls is used up; submit_quest or abandon_quest",
    "tool_budget": 5,
    "request_id": "961c0ec39bf4f620b9b55038d5917f43"
  }
}
