Garden suggestions request failed: ${resp.status}

Error message

Garden suggestions request failed: ${resp.status}

What it means

Thrown by fetchPromptGardenSuggestions when the HTTP request to the Prompt Garden suggestions endpoint completes with a non-ok status. The response status code is embedded in the message so the caller can distinguish auth failures, not-found, and server errors.

Solutions

1. Check the embedded status: 401/403 means fix credentials, 404 means fix base URL/route, 5xx means retry later or check service health
2. Confirm the base URL includes the right environment and that /api/public/prompts/suggestions exists there (open it in a browser/curl)
3. Add retry with backoff for transient 5xx/429 responses
4. Verify query params (mode, limit, strategy) are supported by the deployed garden version

const MAX = 3
for (let i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {
  try {
    return await fetchPromptGardenSuggestions(options)
  } catch (error) {
    const status = Number(/(\d{3})\s*$/.exec((error as Error).message)?.[1])
    const retryable = status >= 500 || status === 429
    if (!retryable || i === MAX - 1) throw error
    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2 ** i * 500))
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: GET {gardenBaseUrl}/api/public/prompts/suggestions returning 401/403 (invalid or missing API auth), 404 (wrong base URL or path, service version mismatch), 429 (rate limited), or 5xx (garden service down).

Common situations: Base URL pointing to an environment that does not host the public suggestions route; expired or missing API credentials; garden service deploy removed/renamed the endpoint; hitting rate limits from a shared key.
