## TL;DR

If nimble search fails with 402 or 403 only when you pass --include-answer, that flag is a premium feature gated to Enterprise plans - the query itself is fine. Agents that treat any 402/403 as fatal and abort the whole pipeline waste good queries - downgrade the flag and continue. Retry the exact same command without --include-answer and keep going; the search results come back normally, you just lose the synthesized answer.

## Fix

1. If nimble search fails with 402 or 403 only when you pass --include-answer, that flag is a premium feature gated to Enterprise plans - the query itself is fine.
   Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.
2. Agents that treat any 402/403 as fatal and abort the whole pipeline waste good queries - downgrade the flag and continue.
   Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

## Variant phrasings

### Nimble --include-answer 402/403 is a premium-plan gate - retry the same query without the flag

## Why it happens

Nimble's own error-handling reference: --include-answer returns 402/403 because it is a premium feature on Enterprise plans. The documented recovery: do NOT treat it as a fatal error - retry the exact same query without --include-answer and continue with the search results, which are still valuable without the synthesized answer.

## Edge cases

- If your error message differs even slightly, this is probably a different issue; search the exact text.
- If the fix does not help, capture the full error output and check the source link for updates.
