Research direction

Start with mapbox_tilesets/scripts/cli.py at upload_source and _upload_source, identified in the traceback, and reproduce the tilesets upload-source command with a valid token lacking the required permissions. Trace how the response is handled and make the failure report the permission problem instead of the repetitive connection traceback. Done means the command gives a concise, actionable error for this token scenario.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When going through the MTS tutorial, I accidentally used my default public token which does not have the correct permissions.

export MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=pk.....`

It would be great to see a more helpful error message if possible. This could be the issue at the heart of this ticket as well: https://github.com/mapbox/tilesets-cli/issues/101.
