   I agree that checking the exact message may be brittle, it demonstrates what I want to do better than looking at a severity level. Perhaps I can make a get call and determine the id doesn't exist because the returned array is empty, but that doesn't seem like the best solution.
   
   For my specific case, simply returning the error code would suffice, and some client functions actually do this (eg. everything in `roles.go` as well as `UpdateStaticDNSEntryByID`. In general I think updating functions to return status codes would be better, but I'm still confused why we return alerts, when we only do so for a "success" alert.
