note: Real response payloads captured verbatim from the live colossal.com WordPress REST API. Colossal
  Biosciences publishes no examples of its own and the derived OpenAPI carries none, so these were PROBED,
  not authored. Every value below came back from an anonymous GET; nothing is synthetic and no field was
  edited except the truncation noted on each entry. All requests are anonymous and read-only.
conventions:
  anonymous_read: true
  trimming_param: _fields — a comma-separated list of top-level fields, used on most captures below to
    keep them readable
  expansion_param: _embed — inlines author, wp:featuredmedia, wp:term and replies into _embedded
  pagination_headers:
  - X-WP-Total
  - X-WP-TotalPages

  content_type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
  truncation: none — complete response
  note: Live confirmation of the WordPress error envelope {code, message, data.status}. This is NOT application/problem+json.
    Catalogued in errors/colossal-biosciences-problem-types.yml.
  response:
    code: rest_post_invalid_id
    message: Invalid post ID.
    data:
      status: 404
not_captured:
- surface: write operations (createPosts, updatePostsId, deletePostsId, and every other write)
  reason: require a WordPress Application Password over HTTP Basic; not attempted
- surface: MCP tools/list
  reason: authentication-gated — returns HTTP 401 rest_forbidden anonymously (re-confirmed 2026-08-04)
- surface: getSettings, getUsersMe
  reason: authenticated-only routes; anonymous calls return 401
