Policy, approvals and errors

SDK function policy ID: rippling.rest_api.install_package_managed_installs. Catalog operation: install-package-managed-installs. Rules can name either ID; function rules distinguish managed calls and conservatively cover raw calls sharing the route. Existing grant permissions and policy rules apply. wait() returns an immediate result or waits for a required approval; it never approves the request itself. Persist the approval ID to resume after a restart.

Provider errors retain their response; JSON decoding raises ProviderAPIError for provider failures. ManagedOperationError identifies contract/input/retention errors. See error handling and provider-specific behavior. Sensitive input may be refused before approval storage. A decoding error never resubmits a write.

Required provider scopes: ["packages-install.read-write"]

Provider entitlements: ["Unity_Packages_V2_Platform_API"]
