A Python script is designed to create a new access control rule on a Cisco Firepower Management Center (FMC) using its REST API. The script sends a POST request to the correct endpoint. The API returns a 400 status code. What is the most likely cause?

The authentication token is invalid.

The rule ID in the URL does not exist.

The request body is malformed or missing required fields.

The HTTP method is incorrect for the endpoint.

When adding a new access rule to a security appliance via its API, what is the typical HTTP method and endpoint pattern?

POST to the collection endpoint (e.g., /api/firewall/rules)

PUT to the collection endpoint (e.g., /api/firewall/rules)

DELETE to the collection endpoint with the new rule data

GET to the collection endpoint with the new rule data
