filestack-error-diagnosis

filestack-error-diagnosis is a skill for Claude Code from filestack/filestack-claude-plugin. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,025 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A troubleshooting guide for Filestack, a service for uploading and processing files through an API. It explains common API response formats, HTTP errors, security-policy failures, and likely fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an application receives Filestack errors, including 401, 403, 404, 429, or server-error responses, or when working with Filestack API and processing URLs.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish missing credentials, permission problems, expired file handles, rate limits, and temporary service failures. That makes Filestack errors easier to diagnose from their status and response shape.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

filestack-error-diagnosis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Filestack Error Diagnosis

Error Response Shape

Filestack APIs return errors in two formats:

v1 API format (api.filestackapi.com):

{ "result": "error", "error": { "code": 403, "msg": "Policy required" } }

Processing/CDN format (process.filestackapi.com, cdn.filestackcontent.com):

{ "error": "Unsupported conversion" }

(v1 API includes a top-level result field; the processing/CDN edge does not — just error with a string or object.)

HTTP Error Code Reference

Code Meaning Likely Cause Fix
401 Unauthorized Invalid or missing API key Check FILESTACK_API_KEY is correct and hasn't been rotated
403 Forbidden Security policy violation, or CORS origin not whitelisted See policy errors below
404 Not Found Handle doesn't exist, has been deleted, or has expired Verify handle is correct; check app's handle expiry setting
429 Rate Limited Too many requests Read Filestack rate-limit headers (below); implement exponential backoff
500/502/503 Server Error Transient Filestack service issue Retry with backoff; check status.filestack.com

Security Policy Errors (403)

403s from security-enabled apps are usually one of:

  1. Expired policyexpiry unix timestamp is in the past

    import time
    policy = { "expiry": int(time.time()) + 3600, "call": ["read"] }  # 1 hour from now
    
  2. Wrong signature — HMAC computed with wrong secret, or policy was modified after signing

    • Re-generate both policy and signature together — never modify the policy JSON after signing
  3. Insufficient call scope — policy doesn't include the operation being performed

    • read for CDN delivery, store for upload, convert for transformations, remove for delete
  4. Wrong CORS origin — browser request blocked

    • Filestack dashboard → your app → Security → add your domain

Transformation Errors

Error Cause Fix
"Unsupported input format" Input file format not supported by the transform Check Filestack docs for supported input formats per transform
"Output size limit exceeded" Result would be larger than the app's output limit Reduce target dimensions or use progressive encoding
"Processing timeout" Transform took too long (usually video) Use async transforms with a callback URL for video
"Invalid parameter" Wrong parameter name or value type Check CDN URL syntax: param:value (colon, not =)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
