Write operations (generate_report) modify state. Without rate limits, an agent can make hundreds of changes in seconds — faster than any human can review or revert.

Rate limit write operations

  "generate_report": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "generate_report_per_hour",

        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
