Error message

Tool action request is no longer pending

What it means

Optimistic-concurrency guard when resolving a tool action request: the request's status is no longer pending (already decided, expired, or cancelled) or the signed payload can no longer be read. The 409 asks the client to refresh the review queue because the row changed under it.

Solutions

1. The request is no longer pending (already resolved). Refresh its state before acting.
