Behavior and errors

Lists omit HTML, text, headers, authentication verdicts, and raw download links.

Use a full-access credential. List responses are newest first; use has_more and cursor IDs to continue. Resource IDs belong to your team; an unknown or foreign resource returns 404. See authentication, errors, rate limits, and compatibility for the shared contract.
