## Response

The `data` value is a confirmation string. The exact wording changes for lock and unlock, but both endpoints return a string rather than a structured object.

```json

{

  "success": true,

  "data": "The police team has been locked down to a maximum of 12 players.",

  "meta": {

    "timestamp": "2026-04-15T00:00:00.000Z",

    "path": "/v2/community/erlc/teams/unlock"

  }

}

```
