When I see “handler” in errors these days, I first wonder about those
inconvenient sandbox rules in Mojave. Are you using Mojave (10.14) or a beta
for Catalina? If running in Script editor you might need to add the Script
Editor app to the Accessibility and Full Disk Access areas of the Security &
Privacy prefpane. If you create AppleScript applications, you have to add each.
