WHAT CAN GO WRONG

Even read-only tools carry cost. An agent in a retry loop can make thousands of API calls per minute, exhausting rate limits and running up bills.

RECOMMENDED RULES

Cap read operations

  "get_cabinet": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "get_cabinet_per_minute",

        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
