Accepts a pending trading permission, transitioning its status from Requested to Accepted. A trading permission authorizes a CTA (commodity trading advisor) to trade on an account holder's behalf; accepting it is the step where the named CTA confirms the arrangement. Identify the permission with tradingPermissionId (the integer entity ID).

Only the CTA named on the permission can accept it — the request fails for any other caller. The permission must still be in Requested status; once it has moved to another status, it can no longer be accepted.

To find pending permissions and their IDs, query tradingPermissionList.

On success, the response returns the updated tradingPermission with its new status and an empty errorText. On a handled failure, the tradingPermission is still returned alongside a non-empty errorText describing the problem.

Common Failure Scenarios

• The permission is no longer in Requested status, so it is too late to accept it.
• The caller is not the CTA named on the permission (returns an access-denied error).
• The tradingPermissionId doesn't exist or isn't accessible to the caller.
• The access token is missing or invalid (returns HTTP 401).
