limit_count: 1
limits:
- scope: per-key
  window: 60s
  limit: 100
  unit: requests
  applies_to: REST API (https://gateway.drillr.ai/api/v2)
  on_exhaustion:
    http_status: 429
    error: rate_limit_exceeded
    body_field: retry_after_seconds
    billed: false
  note: >-
    100 requests per key per minute. On exceed, the request returns 429 with
    error rate_limit_exceeded and retry_after_seconds in the JSON body. A 429 is
    not billed.
response_headers: []
response_headers_note: >-
  drillr signals rate limiting in the response BODY (retry_after_seconds), not via
  X-RateLimit-*/RateLimit-*/Retry-After headers — none are documented.
credit_metering:
  note: >-
    Separate from the request rate limit, drillr meters usage in credits from a
    single pool shared across Workspace, MCP and REST. Fixed-rate tools: run_sql and
    filing tools 0.1 credit, news_search 0.2 credit, signal research tools
    (industry_inflections, ai_adoption) 1 credit each. company_search is usage-based
    (typically 3-5 credits, exact charge returned in the response). ticker and schema
    utilities are free. Exhausting credits returns 402 insufficient_credits.
  daily_caps:
    company_search:
      free: 20
      plus: 100
      ultra: 500
    note: >-
      Company-search daily cap is an abuse guard, not a billing device; past the
      cap, calls are declined until the day resets and nothing more is charged.
