x-idempotency:
supported: false
note: Dynatrace publishes no idempotency key. Retrying an ingest POST duplicates the datapoint.
x-reversibility:
grade: documented
note: Configuration and identity writes have a DELETE reversal; ingested telemetry is irreversible. No reversal window is published.

'429':
description: Too many requests. The environment thread pool and its queue are full, or the request timed out in the queue after 10 seconds.
Documented on https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/dynatrace-api/basics/access-limit but not declared on any operation in the published contract.
x-apievangelist-rationale: Adds the exhaustion status the docs guarantee but the contract omits.

x-apievangelist-permission-model: Dynatrace requires BOTH the user identity and the token to carry a permission scope. Granting the scope
to the token alone returns 403.
