I'm looking at the response body from an API call and I need to understand it before I do anything with it.

API I called: {{api_name}}
The endpoint + method: {{endpoint}}
What I asked for: {{request_intent}}
The full response body (paste verbatim): {{response_body}}

Walk me through:
1. WHAT EACH TOP-LEVEL FIELD MEANS — in plain English. If a field is nested, summarise what the nested object holds; don't read every key.
2. WHAT TO USE: which 1–3 fields are the ones I'll actually need to extract for {{request_intent}}.
3. ANY ERROR / WARNING signs in the response (status, error keys, 'next_page' patterns I should check before assuming I have all the data).
4. NEXT REQUEST I'd typically make based on this response.

Plain English. Use the actual values from the response in your explanation, not placeholders.
