confirmation_required

This destructive action needs a typed confirmation. Deleting or overwriting something important needs you to type its name, so it cannot happen by accident or by a slip of an agent.

• HTTP status: 422 Unprocessable Content
• CLI exit code: 2 (the request or file is not valid)
• Retry: not as it is; the same request will fail the same way until the cause is fixed

How to fix it

Repeat the request with confirm={name}.

1. Repeat the request with confirm=<name> (the exact name of the thing being changed).

Words in {braces} are filled in from the error response, which names the exact resource.
