response:
  status_on_exhaustion: 429
  status_message: Too many requests
  headers: []
  headers_note: No RateLimit-*/X-RateLimit-*/Retry-After response headers are documented and none appear
    in any of the 4,138 harvested operations. 429 is listed in the documented HTTP status table but is
    not declared on a single operation in the OpenAPI, so an agent gets no runtime rate-limit signal —
    only the static numbers above.

guidance:
- text: Real-time monitoring APIs are CPU intensive and are documented for troubleshooting only, not continuous
    polling.
