limit_count: 0
summary: >-
  Covatic publishes no rate limits for the Audience Builder API, and the API returns no
  rate-limit headers. An honest zero: both the docs surface and the wire were checked.
documented_limits: []
response_headers:
  observed: []
  checked_for:
  - X-RateLimit-Limit
  - X-RateLimit-Remaining
  - X-RateLimit-Reset
  - RateLimit-Limit
  - RateLimit-Remaining
  - RateLimit-Reset
  - RateLimit-Policy
  - Retry-After
  note: >-
    Responses from the API host carry only date, content-type, content-length, server
    (uvicorn) and, on 405, allow. No rate-limit family, no Retry-After, no request id.
status_on_exhaustion:
  documented: false
  observed: null
  note: >-
    429 is not declared on any of the 89 operations and was not observed. Only 422 is
    declared as an error response anywhere in the contract.

  note: >-
    The only real developer documentation is login-gated, so a published limit could
    exist behind the wall. Nothing public states one.
gaps_for_the_provider:
- Publish rate limits and return RateLimit-Limit / RateLimit-Remaining / RateLimit-Reset
  (RFC 9331 draft family) plus Retry-After on 429. Without a runtime signal an agent
  cannot back off; it can only fail.
- Declare 429 in the OpenAPI.
