Attaching a catalogue to a number is the one step Meta will not let ShopEazy do for a merchant (it needs an admin of their business), so they do it once in WhatsApp Manager and this tells us it is done. It looks for the catalogue again and, when found, syncs the listings to it in the background. found: false means there is still none to attach.
WhatsApp refusing, in Meta's own words, or no longer accepting the connection (the number has to be connected again), is 422 provider_error. WhatsApp down, busy or not answering is 503 provider_unavailable with Retry-After: nothing was changed, and it is never answered as found: false, which only ever means WhatsApp answered and there is still no catalogue. Safe to repeat: it only looks and syncs, and the same Idempotency-Key replays the first answer.
Access: OAuth scope settings:write; owner/admin only; write-gated by the subscription.
merchantOAuth settings:writeAuthorizationBearer <token>OAuth 2.1 (authorization code + PKCE S256, public clients, dynamic registration) for connected AI apps. Effective power is scopes granted AND the person's role today AND the plan. orders:refund, billing:write and team:write are opt-in on the consent screen. Write implies read for marketing:read and messages:read, so a grant holding marketing:write passes a marketing:read check, and messages:send passes messages:read.
Scope: settings:write
storeId*stringA store the person can reach. Any other id answers 404, never 403.
Idempotency-Key*stringRequired on every write. Minted on the device when the person taps, reused on every retry. A write without one, or with one that does not match the pattern, is refused with 422 validation_error. Scoped to the token's subject, remembered 24 hours. A replay returns the first 2xx response with Idempotent-Replay: true; a request still running answers 409 in_flight; the same key with a different method, path or body answers 409 idempotency_key_reused; non-2xx results are not remembered. If the key store cannot be read nothing is processed and the answer is 503 idempotency_unavailable: retry with the same key.

Switch the WhatsApp AI auto-reply on or off PUT
It answers customers in the merchant's name, so it is off until the owner or an admin turns it on, and a connected AI app can only do so with `settings:write`. Setting the value it already has changes nothing. `enabled` must be `true` or `false`, else 400 `bad_request`. `getWhatsAppChannel` reports it as `aiEnabled`. Access: OAuth scope `settings:write`; owner/admin only; write-gated by the subscription.
