Close an incident
Safety module
POST/incidents/{id}/closeincidents.close
Closes a contained incident with sign-off through app.close_incident; the caller is recorded as the person signing off. The reporter of a critical incident cannot sign off its closure (422). Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. A rule that refuses the request returns 422 with `refusal` and `reason`.
- Requires the capability safety.incident.close.
- OAuth scopes: safety.
- Send an Idempotency-Key header. A replay with the same key returns the original response.
- Error statuses: 400, 401, 404, 409, 422, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
