+If a `didResolveOperation` hook throws an [`GraphQLError`](../data/errors#custom-errors), the error will be serialized and returned to the client, with an HTTP status code of 500 unless [the error specifies a different status code](../data/errors#setting-http-status-code-and-headers). Because this hook has access to the parsed and validated operation as well as request-specific context (such as the `contextValue`) that makes this plugin hook a good place to perform extra validation. (`didResolveOperation` hooks from multiple plugins are run in parallel and if more than one throws, only one error will be sent to the client.)
