  One published numeric limit exists — 100 MCP calls per connection per 60 seconds,
  from the Microsoft connector reference Highspot publishes. REST API limits are
  undocumented publicly. No X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-* or Retry-After header was
  observed on any unauthenticated response from api-su2.highspot.com or
  mcp.highspot.com, so an agent has no runtime signal to back off on.
name: Highspot Rate Limits
description: >-
  Highspot enforces rate limits on its REST API and MCP Server to maintain
  platform performance and fair usage. The MCP Server connector documents an
  explicit limit of 100 API calls per connection per 60-second renewal window.
  General REST API rate limits vary by subscription plan and are not publicly
  documented; contact Highspot support for plan-specific limits.

  - name: REST API — General
    description: >-
      The Highspot REST API enforces rate limits that vary based on subscription plan.
      Specific limits are not publicly documented. The Python SDK implements automatic
      retry logic with up to 5 retries on connection failures to handle transient
      rate limit responses.
    calls: Not publicly documented
    period: Per minute (typical)
    scope: Per subscription plan
    notes: >-
      Contact Highspot support or consult your account agreement for plan-specific
      rate limit details. Higher-tier plans (Best) may receive elevated limits for
      Insights Layer API access.

retryBehavior:
  description: >-
    The official Highspot Python SDK (highspot.api module) implements a
    get_request_with_retries() function that automatically retries GET requests
    up to 5 times on connection failures and timeouts. Non-connection errors
    raise RuntimeError immediately without retry.
  maxRetries: 5
  errorHandling: APIConnectionError raised after exhausting retries
