 - **HTTPS-only** — `MCP_SERVER_URL` must use `https://`. The only exception is `http://localhost` / `http://127.0.0.1` for local development.
 - **TLS enforcement** — the proxy refuses to start if `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` is set, since it sends signed AWS credentials.
 - **Input validation** — only well-formed JSON-RPC 2.0 messages are signed and forwarded.
-- **Sanitized errors** — HTTP error bodies from the upstream are logged to stderr, not forwarded to the MCP client. Only the status code is relayed.
+- **Informative errors** — HTTP error responses include the upstream error message (e.g. `HTTP 403: User is not authorized`) in the JSON-RPC error for easier debugging. Full response bodies are logged to stderr.
 - **Buffer limits** — SSE streams are capped at 1 MB to prevent unbounded memory growth.
