Breakingdirection flip: their tools call this safe

sdk is no longer accepted

What changed

Usually ignored rather than rejected, so the call succeeds and does something subtly different.

Affects sdk on ProtectModelInputs reachable from 1 operation. Grep for it: nothing else will tell you.

Who is affected

Code that sends Plaid's ProtectModelInputs objects, used by 1 Plaid operation.

Before and after

WhereBeforeAfter
ProtectModelInputs.sdkpresentabsent

Code that breaks

await client.post("/…", {
  // sdk is now ignored, not rejected
  sdk: value,
});

Based on Plaid’s published API specification. How severity is decided.
