RISK

Why theprotocol_oauthTokenExchange is rated High

This is an Execute-level operation as it triggers an external authentication/authorization flow whose effects depend on arguments — it can grant new credentials and access rights.

theprotocol_oauthTokenExchange Rate-limited

theprotocol_oauthTokenExchange stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
