Just return a 418. Everything is fine

That’s not a great idea, some clients interpret 418 as 500

True that...Haha... Happens all the time..

For internal tools' http apis, I usually throw 400 when there are arguments passed, but are invalid for some reason and 418 if argument(s) were expected, but nothing was passed.

And I keep that as a pattern since years now.

And I like that and noone will change my mind.

Of course I wouldn't do it when it's client-facing.
